Warmest March in Global Recordkeeping

Are you trolling us? 97% of climate scientists agree that the global is warming and that humans are the cause of this warming.

Before it was the warmest March on record it was the warmest February:

Oh, and it was the warmest January:

Oh and 2015 was the warmest year on record:

Chart of temps from 1880:

CO2 is at 408ppm and climbing as it nears it's seasonal peak.

This is a level not seen in the past 15 million years

Here's a chart that looks at some other greenhouse gases, such as methane.

The 97% repeated lie has been debunked multiple times

Has it? I haven't heard of americanthinker.com before, but do you have a reputable source for that claim, such as an independant study published in an independent journal that has been peer reviewed? Such as [0]. Because other legitimate sources such as Nasa actually state the 97% figure too[1].

Here are a couple who agree:

United Nations IPCC http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/index.htm

Exxon Mobile http://corporate.exxonmobil.com/en/current-issues/climate-po...

NASA http://climate.nasa.gov/

American Meteorological Society https://www.ametsoc.org/ams/index.cfm/about-ams/ams-statemen...

NOAA http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html

EPA https://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/

National Center for Atmospheric Research http://eo.ucar.edu/basics/cc_1.html

Royal Society of the United Kingdom https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/climate-evid...

Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society http://www.cmos.ca/site/ps_pos_statements?a=7

Science Council of Japan, Russian Academy of Science, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Royal Society of Canada, Chinese Academy of Sciences, French Academy of Sciences, German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina, Indian National Science Academy, Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy), Royal Society (UK) (PDF File) http://nationalacademies.org/onpi/06072005.pdf

Maybe the consensus number is only 95%, or 93%, but it's pretty clear that there is broad scientific agreement. Even that 'debunking' only claims that the papers do not explicitly take a position, while virtually every major scientific body who have taken a position say that human-caused climate change is a major issue. There is pretty undeniable evidence now that the world is getting warmer (example: http://www.crystalcruises.com/OfferDetail.aspx?OG=220). So the shift in thinking should be away from "is there anyone who doesn't think this is happening" to "who has the best ideas for how to limit this".
