There is no vast majority of scientists supporting Peak Oil or Global Warming. There are merely a handful making declarations while thousands speak out against it:

NO 'Consensus' on "Man-Made" Global Warming

Sea Ice is not melting drastically, it is actually increasing in Antartica:

Satellites Show Overall Increases In Antarctic Sea Ice Cover (NASA)

And there are active volcanoes under the Arctic:

Scientists Find Northernmost Arctic Hydrothermal Field Venting Water at 570 Degrees F (Science Daily)

Man is causing global warming but not how you think:

Odd USHCN Weather Stations

Finally there is no proof of man-made global warming without using irrelevant computer models:

1. Modern Nuclear Reactors can be built in 3-years (not 10) and last 60-years (Westinghouse)

2. EROEI (Energy Return On Energy Invested) is irrelevant:

Thermodynamics and Money (Peter Huber, Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering, MIT)
www.forbes.com/free_fo...

"The economic value of energy just doesn't depend very strongly on raw energy content as conventionally measured in British thermal units. Instead it's determined mainly by the distance between the BTUs and where you need them, and how densely the BTUs are packed into pounds of stuff you've got to move, and by the quality of the technology at hand to move, concentrate, refine and burn those BTUs, and by how your neighbors feel about carbon, uranium and windmills. In this entropic universe we occupy, the production of one unit of high-grade energy always requires more than one unit of low-grade energy at the outset. There are no exceptions. Put another way, Eroei--a sophomoric form of thermodynamic accounting--is always negative and always irrelevant. "Matter-energy" constraints count for nothing. The "monetary culture" still rules."
