The data put in to the original 97% claim just doesn't support the claim. OTOH if you add up the people in each category in a more reasonable way the figure just comes out to low to be believed. Perhaps it wasn't the best data selection.

Or really even the best type of answer to look for. The % that "believes in global warming", or even specifically "AGW" is a very vague point and doesn't really tell us much. Hell I "believe in AGW" (in quotes because it isn't the best wording of the idea of supporting a scientific theory) myself.

What I don't agree with is the combination of -

Human emission of CO2 is causing a massive and unprecedented amount of warming across the globe that will cause a massive catastrophe (think the combination of the world wars, the great depression and the spanish flu, not 9/11 or even something like the Haiti earthquake or the Indian Ocean tsunami), and massive and quick intervention in energy markets will stop or greatly reduce that catastrophe and do so on a cost effective basis.
