Global Warming: Your Uncle Probably Doesn't Believe in it, but Most Smart People Do

Global warming is one of these hot topics that has caused so much weird debate lately, mostly between non-scientists. By non-scientists, I'm referring to us lowly civilians that have no real say in these matters, but think that our Googling makes us authorities on whatever subject we like. Though it seems that the world is "torn" on the subject, a Yale University study found that only about 23% of people don't "believe" in it.

As for actual scientists, this debate is pretty much non-existent, since 90% of these eggheads agree that climate change is real, and it's humanity's fault. Here's another study with similar results, in case you're still feeling whatever it is you're feeling.

This made me curious about what the general consensus is among institutions the world as a whole respects—Ivy Leage Universities, world-renowned established egghead-centers, etc.

• Oxford University (that big old school in the UK) has a whole institute devoted to environmental change. They talk about the whole climate change being our fault like it's an obvious fact.
   
• Harvard does too.
   
• MIT's official Global Change Program dismisses the climate debate in the very first sentence of its "About Us" page.
   
• Stanford University's Global Climate & Energy Project seems to have the same stance.
   
• University of Toronto's Centre for Global Change "About" page cuts to the chase pretty quickly as well.
   
• The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich has a nifty line graph in case people don't know what "increase of global climate temperature" means.

I could keep finding more of these, but this is stupid and it's 1 am.
Anyway, that's that. Stop idling your car. Christmas was like 70 degrees this year, guys.
