Surveys of scientists' views on climate change
![](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Climate_science_opinion2.png?width=300)
Several surveys have been conducted of the opinions of scientists on anthropogenic climate change. They have generally concluded that the majority of scientists believe that human activity is contributing to global warming.
