So another new study shows that the overwhelming consensus of scientists who've studied global warming and climate change believe that yes, it's happening and yes, human action is causing it. These surveys always come back with percentages over 95%. This one says 97.2%. If there was a 97.2% chance of a hurricane hitting your area, you'd evacuate. In fact, you'd evacuate if there was a 50% chance.
And still, a certain percentage of Americans will look at that 97.2% number, read that some high school chemistry teacher in Dubuque disagrees and say, "Scientists are split on this issue. Half of them say one thing, half of them say another."
