I'll admit there is something troubling about surveying only Climatologists in that they've built an entire industry around Global Warming. If someone could prove man-made GW didn't exist you'd probably see 2/3 of the available Climatology grants disappear overnight.
That said I think there's a bigger flaw in this survey and that's the question itself. The question, as stated in the graph, is "Credibility of Evidence for Anthropogenic Climate Change". Not "Scientists who believe Climate Change will cause a cataclysmic change in our environment"
I think everyone agrees that our presence on Earth is having some impact on the environment. It seems insane not to believe that. The question is to what extent and that isn't addressed in the survey.
