Anthony Watts has discovered
a new survey that shows that it's not just climate scientists who know that the earth is getting hotter and humans are causing it.
The paper was authored by a team of scientist from the USA: J Stuart Carlton, Rebecca Perry-Hill, Matthew Huber and Linda S Prokopy. The results suggest almost all biophysical research scientists accept climate science, not just climate researchers. Yes, that includes physicists and chemists and astronomers and biologists and geologists and more. The authors said that "
scientists across disciplines nearly unanimously believe in anthropogenic climate change, are highly certain that climate change is happening, and find climate science to be trustworthy and credible."

Note: almost all the charts were plotted by me, based on information in
the paper or the appendix. And this is my take on the research.)
Researchers in and out of climate science agree that temperatures have risen and we've caused it
Almost all researchers in the biophysical sciences that is. 93.6% of respondents agreed that temperatures have risen when compared with pre-1800's levels. Of these, 98.2% agreed that 'human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures'.
The chart below gives an indication of how many respondents had at least some knowledge about their world's climate:
