The opinions of a professional society only matter if the individual members took the time to read the primary sources. How many members of the AAAS actually took the time to read the research on fracking? The fact that a mere 39% of them support fracking tells me that very few of them took the time to research the issue. If 87% truly believe that climate change is "mostly due to human activity", then how do you explain climate change 10 million years ago, lol? Do these people believe there was no climate change 10 million years ago?
There is a difference between 'mostly' and 'entirely'. There's also a difference between 'is' and 'was'.
It's this sort of thing that screws with the layman understanding of science. Technicalities matter.
