Scientists’ Views about Attribution of Global Warming
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
A survey of 1868 scientists found that 90% of those with more than 10 climate-related publications agree that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are the main driver of recent global warming. The study also suggests the phrasing in previous IPCC reports may have led to underestimations of the warming effect of greenhouse gasses. Scientists who downplayed the human role in climate change reported more media coverage.

Explicación de la calificación
This survey represents a substantial effort to assess the views of a large and diverse group of scientists on climate change attribution. While limitations such as self-reported data and a moderate response rate exist, the findings are largely consistent with other research and provide valuable insights into the level of consensus within the scientific community. The survey's detailed exploration of different aspects of attribution and its attempt to understand the nuances of agreement and disagreement strengthen its contribution to the field.
