The scientific consensus on human-caused global warming is around 97%

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming is around 97%?

Yes. A peer-reviewed meta-analysis and a survey study report that multiple studies converge on roughly 97% agreement among climate experts that humans cause global warming, and an encyclopedia entry states around 97% of publishing climate scientists agree. A NASA page quoting AAAS and other sources confirm a strong human-caused warming consensus, though one Skeptics answer disputes what the 97% figure actually measures.
