Global Warming Truth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_consensus
"Over 97% of actively publishing climate scientists agree that human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation is a significant contributing factor to global climate change[1]" -- reference: Peter T. Doran and Maggie Kendall Zimmerman. “Examining the Scientific Consensus on Climate Change”. University of Illinois at Chicago. http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf.
Credible research scientists such as Gavin Schmidt with NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies are saying the recent global warming email incident has nothing to do with disproving global warming. Quote from Gavin Schmidt at NASA, “There’s nothing in the e-mails that shows that global warming is a hoax”
Unscientific anti global warmest say the over the past year the planet is now cooling. That falls under the bad science category because it is impossible to obtain a global warming trend from averaging global temperatures from a few years, and the reason is due to global temperature fluctuations. Global temperatures have always fluctuated by significant amounts. Real scientists find the trend from decades of global temperatures, which clearly shows the global warming trend.
Exxon Mobil (Big Oil) has been caught red handed paying millions of dollars to people and groups who are against global warming. This is documented at WikiPedia, which contains the references. Please see the links at the bottom of this blog under "Big Oil caught red handed" for details.
Global Warming is a scientific fact, but has become so political that conservatives are now out right lying. One example of bad science is to even suggest that a few years worth of global temperature averages can show a global warming trend. That is impossible because of temperature fluctuations. It is a known fact that global temperatures fluctuation by a great amount. In order to properly analyze the data from global temperatures one needs to take an average spanning at least a decade. Here is the data plot of global temperatures, human population, and CO2 spanning back to 1850 -->
The data shows a correlation between the industrial age and the rise in global temperature.
Some people suggest (without providing any data) that global warming is due to the Sun. That is not true. The data of solar irradiance shows a lack of correlation between global warming and solar irradiance.
Some people falsely suggest most scientists do not believe in global warming. That is the complete opposite of the truth. This lie started with Noah E. Robinson, a faculty member of OISM, which circulated the Oregon Petition against global warming. OISM is headed by Dr. Arthur B. Robinson who lectures on global warming skepticism at the Heartland Institute, a conservative/libertarian free-market think tank that often funds global warming-skeptical research and is funded in part by ExxonMobil, a petroleum company.

The petition goes on the say, 31,000 American scientists opposed, on scientific grounds, to the hypothesis of "human-caused global warming" Key word is "Human-caused." Even this petition is not about if global warming is real, but if humanity is the cause. The data is overwhelming that global warming is real. It's getting interesting folks, as the opposing sources lead to Big Oil.
I would suggest objective people read what this anti global warming petition is,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Warming_Petition_Project
Pretty sad how these conservatives / anti global warmest are out right lying to the public. They were caught red handed. Their petition is fraudulent.
So just how many scientists believe global warming is real? Nearly 100%. They know for fact global warming is real, but the real question is how many scientists believe humanity is the cause of global warming. Here is a WikiPedia quote, with references,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_consensus
"Over 97% of actively publishing climate scientists agree that human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation is a significant contributing factor to global climate change[1]"
The following WikiPedia page starts off with,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_consensus
"The majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is primarily caused by human activities such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. Environmental organizations, many governmental reports, and the non-U.S. media agree on this virtually unanimous agreement in the scientific community in support of human-caused global warming, although there is less agreement on the specific consequences of this warming."
Here are some of the references for only the above statement,

Recently some people are under the false impression that the recent global warming email incident some how magically means there's no global warming. Credible research scientists such as Gavin Schmidt with NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies are saying these emails have nothing to do with disproving global warming, quote, "There's nothing in the e-mails that shows that global warming is a hoax"
