Just go back to a popular mechanics from 30 years ago talking about the imminent ice age. They change their minds every day.
My teacher in my Ethics in Science class had us reading most of the current literature on global warming (both for and against it). I was like you and thought that many scientists disagreed with it and that really isn't the case. Most of the disagreement is with the models and the degree of the effect. The vast majority of scientists (especially the top ones in their field) agree that global warming is real, it is a threat, and it is caused by human pollution.
