It really doesn’t matter if it is 97% or 90% or 75%. It isn’t 50% or 25%. Even if it isn’t anthropomorphic, scientists are still in agreement that it is alarming. That consensus is extremely high.

You were kidding, right? Please tell me you were kidding....please.
The data is published. The studies are peer reviewed and critiqued for errors in their methodology, statistics and analysis. Scientists intentionally are vague and humble knowing their work and their credibility are easily tarnished or refuted by future studies. While scientists are paid and are sponsored and do receive grants, you seem to be acting as if scientists have deceitful alternative motives in some global conspiracy theory to move money from fossil fuel giants to new green energy sectors. Have you read studies or been to a scientific conference before? It is hard for anyone to read these articles or go to one of these events and not think scientists are some of the most humble people out there.

Scientists are driven to study the world or develop applications for problems. They aren’t in the business of fabricating problems for the deep state like some people believe.
