Rubbish. Physicist, Professor Harold Lewis, described AGW as unprecedented “pseudoscientific fraud”. Politically driven modelling. Not hard objective science. Not empirical evidence. Fraud.

“The planet has the last vote”

What would you do, hypothetically, if it “voted” against you?

The science is based on reality, and facts don’t vote. Prejudice does, though, and snarky labels can be quite successful in a world where infotainment trumps reality. However, the increasing power demands of that “virtual” reality depend on real generation, and that generation is trashing your air, your sea, your water supply, your infrastructure, and all that goes with it.

Chris Said:
In other words, Americans are all over the map on this question, with no idea as to the strength of the scientific consensus.

Did you ever consider Chris that many people who say they “don’t know” are simply trying to avoid the social stigma of their real answer which is “I don’t care”?

Did you ever consider, Chris, that what you see as “education” your students see as “propaganda”.

By the way Chris, you can’t give a “wrong answer” to a question regarding your “opinion”. I know that you believe people aren’t allowed to have any non-consensus opinion, but they seem to want to anyway.

I think that all the Warmists who are regulars here, should mark this day in your Calendar, as the official day that Warmists became the minority.

The consensus is dead. Long live the controversy.

In other words, the public knows exactly how strong the scientific consensus is, and they seriously don’t care.

Are you saying the noted references by Chris for the survey misrepresent the consensus due to “statistical tricks?”

Yes. That was my point.

If so, you might want to review your own posted suvey, which shows a dramatic consensus favoring anthropogenic climate change causes

Yes, I agree. That doesn’t affect my point.

@Nullius in Verba: I’m having trouble discerning your point. Are you saying the noted references by Chris for the survey misrepresent the consensus due to “statistical tricks?” If so, you might want to review your own posted suvey, which shows a dramatic consensus favoring anthropogenic climate change causes, by whatever statistical legerdemain you care to employ. I’m betting I’m simply missing your point, though.
