Climate Change Denial Myth #6: Scientists Don't Agree

The planet is warming and warming quickly, but despite the overwhelming evidence, there are many climate change denialists out there claiming this is not true and in some cases, that the opposite, Earth is cooling is true. One of their arguments to try to debunk climate change is that scientists don't agree the climate is changing. They find a scientist who says the climate is not changing and therefore, all scientists are wrong. What's the truth?

The truth is there is overwhelming consensus among climate scientists that the climate is changing and it is warming. Too often the denialists pull out someone with a Ph.D. but has no working experience in climate science. Among scientists working on climate, 97% agree the climate is warming.

A large study was done to determine the agreement among scientists on this issue and the study makes it clear there is no debate among scientists. This level of consensus is about as large as you can get.

Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature

The denialists will claim scientists have an agenda, but what that agenda is boggles my mind. The planet is warming and the economic damage being caused will harm the world's population for decades and centuries to come. There's no way to avoid the harm, only minimize it as much as possible by acting quickly.
