Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies.

“She claimed to have examined abstracts of 928 articles published in scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and found that 75% supported the view that human activities are responsible for most of the observed warming over the previous 50 years while none directly dissented.” she creates a statistic which is based on the number of articles in a stupid journal and a stupid person publishes the stupid statistic and another stupid journal reports it as news. you however a quoting a real statistic. how silly/sarcasm

from your link:

It is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.

Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem.

The survey results show geoscientists (also known as earth scientists) and engineers hold similar views as meteorologists. Two recent surveys of meteorologists (summarized here and here) revealed similar skepticism of alarmist global warming claims.

According to the newly published survey of geoscientists and engineers, merely 36 percent of respondents fit the “Comply with Kyoto” model. The scientists in this group “express the strong belief that climate change is happening, that it is not a normal cycle of nature, and humans are the main or central cause.”

This “peer reviewed survey” was not a peer reviewed survey of climatologists. It was a survey of employees of petroleum and energy companies, specific to Alberta, Canada, and it was intended to show the bias inherent in those employees. Many of those employees had no expertise in environmental science (”engineer” could mean electrical engineer, for example), so it would be like asking a train operator what his/ her opinion was on spaceships. Interesting, and sociologically relevant... but not scientifically relevant. Here is the debunking of this “peer reviewed survey” for reference:
