No, go back and look at the study again. The figure was 52%. They could get it as high as 78% only by restricting the polling to the people who wrote papers in the subject. Those people have a financial stake in believing in global warming because as soon as the politicians give up on it, the funding for the science will collapse.


Right...if you ask the man on the street you get 45%....what the hell does he know? What he heard on Fox news? If you ask the scientific community you get high correlation. That's the point you attacked with data that mixed in people who are not in the climate science business. Hell, even you admitted believing in AGW. What are you arguing about?

Bilow Said:
If I run a poll asking abortion doctors if the government should pay for abortions I'll get a number which is a lot higher than if I ask doctors in general or the general public.
