accountIn 2007, Harris Interactive surveyed 489 members of the American Meteorological Society or the American Geophysical Union for the Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) at George Mason University, with results published in April 2008.

referenceThe article 'Climate Science: An Empirical Example of Postnormal Science' by Dennis Bray and Hans von Storch was published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society in 1999 (Volume 80, Issue 3, pp. 439–455).

measurementIn the 2007 Harris Interactive survey of American Meteorological Society and American Geophysical Union members, 41% of scientists described the likely severity of climate change effects over the next 50–100 years as catastrophic, 44% as moderately dangerous, and 13% as having relatively little danger.

measurementIn the 2007 Harris Interactive survey of American Meteorological Society and American Geophysical Union members, 56% described the study of global climate change as a mature science and 39% as an emerging science.

measurementIn the 2007 Harris Interactive survey of American Meteorological Society and American Geophysical Union members, 84% of scientists personally believed human-induced warming was occurring, and 74% agreed that 'currently available scientific evidence' substantiated its occurrence.

measurementWhen asked about the likely effects of global climate change in the next 50 to 100 years on a scale of 1 (trivial) to 10 (catastrophic), 13% of respondents in an October 2011 survey of scientists replied 1 to 3, 44% replied 4 to 7, 41% replied 8 to 10, and 2% did not know.

measurementIn an October 2011 survey of 489 actively working scientists, 84% agreed that human-induced greenhouse warming is currently occurring, 5% disagreed, and 12% did not know.

measurementIn the 2007 Harris Interactive survey of American Meteorological Society and American Geophysical Union members, 97% of scientists agreed that global temperatures had increased during the past 100 years, and 5% believed human activity does not contribute to greenhouse warming.

measurementIn an October 2011 survey of 489 actively working scientists from the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society, or the 23rd edition of American Men and Women of Science, 97% of respondents agreed that global temperatures have risen over the past century.

quoteThe American Meteorological Society (AMS) issued this position statement on April 15, 2019: "Scientific evidence indicates that the leading cause of climate change in the most recent half century is the anthropogenic increase in the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, tropospheric ozone, and nitrous oxide."
