AMS members surveyed on global warming | Climate Etc.
Only 59% of the respondents indicated that 81-100% of climate scientists think that human-caused gloval warming is happening, while 20% of respondents reporter the number to be between 61-80%.
JC comment: read the whole thing, this is pretty fascinating. It is interesting to compare this with the 97% of the Anderegg et al. study. Besides the obviously different methodologies, the AMS surveyed meteorologists, whereas the population included by Anderegg et al. was heavily spiked with economists and ecologists. The demographic of the AMS group was such that 56% had published refereed journal articles in the past 5 years, and about half of these people published primarily in the climate field.
