New paper suggests that scientists know that global warming is "real, human caused, serious and solvable"

Support for climate policy and societal action are linked to perceptions about scientific agreement : Nature Climate Change : Nature Publishing Group

Previous research has shown that four key beliefs about climate change—that it is real, human caused, serious and solvable—are important predictors of support for climate policies². Other research has shown that organized opponents of climate legislation have sought to undermine public support by instilling the belief that there is widespread disagreement among climate scientists about these points³—a view shown to be widely held by the public¹. Here we examine if this misperception is consequential.
