John Cook. "The 97% consensus on global warming". Skeptical Science. March 26, 2023. https://skepticalscience.com/...

Despite claims to the contrary, 97% of climate experts agree that humans are causing global warming.  In science, consensus is when the vast majority of experts agree on a fundamental principle.  In climate science, more than 97% of experts agree that CO₂ traps heat and that adding it to the atmosphere warms the planet.  Public perception of the scientific consensus concerning global warming is an important gateway into other enlightened climate-related attitudes, including policy support.  This article looks at summaries of the key studies and into the degree of consensus based on analyses of large samples of peer-reviewed climate science literature or surveys of climate and Earth scientists.  The slightly different methodologies used reached very similar conclusions.
