Climate Science: Who is More Credible?

by Steven D

A new paper published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) re-confirmed that among scientists who actually publish peer reviewed research articles and studies on climate science more than 97% of them are convinced that Anthropogenic Climate Change (ACC) (i.e., climate change caused by human activity) is occurring.  

More significantly, scientists who are convinced of ACC have  published more climate science related peer reviewed papers and their research has been cited more often by other researchers than scientists who are not convinced of ACC, by a wide margin.

Follow me below the fold to explore the question of who is more objectively credible about human induced climate change: Climate Scientists who are convinced ACC is real or Climate Change Skeptics.
