Asmall number of scientists disagree that global climate change is caused by human activity. however, scientific consensus supports the idea that human activity is affecting climate. this is possible because

scientific consensus does not require the agreement of all scientists.

the idea is an emerging scientific idea that has not been tested repeatedly.

the idea that global climate change is caused by human activity is a scientific theory.

scientific consensus does not require a large number of scientists to support an idea.

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.

As scientists have investigated evolution from a variety of fields, they have found that some of darwin's orginal ideas were inaccurate or incomplete. t explanation provided by evolution was updated each time to reflect the new information they found. what does this suggest about the theory of evolution? it has become a stronger and clearer theory as new information is collected.
