The only people who are challenging whether global warming is real and caused by humans are “contrarian scientists” bought and paid for by companies like Exxon Mobil, she charged.

Hassol is frustrated by poll results like these:

While about 84 percent of Americans think global warming is probably happening, 56 percent “still think there’s a substantial scientific disagreement” about it, according to a 2007 poll by ABC/Washington Post/Stanford University. Only about 40 percent of respondents felt global warming is “caused mostly by things people do.”
