I suspect that the "research" you are referring to is the Forbes article in 2016.
In the seven years since that came out there has been a lot more evidence of climate change, and many scientists who were undecided back then have subsequently been persuaded.
Obviously no-one knows the exact figure, so I'm happy to go with "the vast majority".
Maybe Forbes should look into why so many people in The Villages continue to side with the tiny minority. I suspect those people just don't want to change their profligate ways. Maybe they should just change their TV channel and see what thinking people are saying.
