That 95% figure is merely those who agree that human activity affects global temperatures (anthropogenic global warming). It says nothing concerning the degree to which people affect the climate, or what the consequences will be.
Most on here would agree that humans affect the environment, and that includes global climate, so that is relatively uncontroversial. The interesting part of the debate is to what degree do we impact it, what are the consequences (both good and bad), and what are reasonable steps to mitigate the negative consequences.

The worst-case-scenario is that we've already emitted too much.That humans weren't on Earth the last time we had this concentration of CO2.What's there,will be there for 1,000 years,and feedback loops will advance geometrically,pushing towards extinction.We should cease emissions immediately and try to extract CO2 from the atmosphere.And we've lost at least 30-years due to corporo-government denial.
It's interesting.
