I don't really care about level - I am far more interested in area of study in regards to GW.
As a general rule, people who:
1) Doubt evolution and believe creationism, also doubt AGW.
2) Libertarian institutions (Cato, AEI, etc) also tend to doubt AGW.
3) Those who doubt science on other fronts, such as cancer links to smoking, also tend to doubt AGW.
4) Conservative Christians tend to doubt AGW, although this one is changing and causing turmoil in Evangelical ranks.
I've long wished that PEW or some such organization would poll specifically to clarify the above links. So far, I've never read any direct poll results trying to show how strong the above correlations are, but there is a wealth of evidence, most strongly exhibited in the type and quality of arguments made in support of the respective positions.
As far as area of study, generally economists and business related fields in general, tend to doubt AGW, while any disciplines exposed to biology and especially ecology, planetary science, etc, tend to support AGW science. Engineering and Medicine can fall either way, an oddity which is very well known from the evolution/creation schism. |
