study on how climate science is being perceived23-11-2016 10:31 | |
GAP☆☆☆☆☆ (7) |
In this page you'll find a short questionnaire on how climate science is being perceived by scientists and the general population. It is part of a study by researchers of the University of Lisbon. Could you be kind enough to participate? It is all anonymous. http://www.survio.com/survey/d/W2A7R8A9J8Q7H7D1D Thank you very much |

This study is rubbish. There are no reasonable answers to most of the questions. |

Why do you say that? I believe all possible answers are there. However, instead of calling it rubbish, why don't you share your opinion and point out what you feel is missing? That would be constructive criticism, which would be positive. |

Regardless of his views on the subject, the questionnaire is not biased in any way. It was thought not to be. That is the hole point of a questionnaire: not to guide in any direction. If his views are to contest AGW he can make them very clear answering the questionnaire. |

You don't no much about this type of survey. But in either case, it is not the question about how they defend their views. Anyone who follows climate science knows the basic arguments on each side of the debate. We do not care about people who uses invalid arguments. A scientist that defends AGW views will generally use these arguments: CO2 is a greenhouse gas; CO2 causes greenhouse effect; raising temperatures of the last 150 years are in part a consequence of CO2 increase. A scientist that contests AGW views will generally use these arguments: temperature variations are within normal variations, at least, since the last glacial maximum; the greenhouse effect of CO2 is to small to contribute significantly to the warming of the XX century; the rise of CO2 does not correlate with the temperature variation (for example the stable temperatures of the last 15 years, or the cooling and stable period between the 40s and 70s, etc.) The idea is how you classify valid views. Not the view of someone who says that there hasn't been any warming in the last 150 years or that says that it doesn't matter what CO2 does we should keep pumping it to the atmosphere just because we want. The idea of the questionnaire is not to debate the causes of GW or the physical mechanisms. Is for people to say how they feel about the current views, and how they feel about the opposite view of their own. |

There is nothing falsifiable about any of it. Remember, the verifiable/falsifiable is weather, and that's not "Climate". All of your questions need to be fitted with responses that account for the "It's nothing but a WACKY religion with rabid followers who are scientifically illiterate" perspective. .

Let me see if I understand. You're saying that over the past 100 years there has been no temperature change? Or that over the past 15,000 years climate has been exactly the same? You're saying that anyone who states or recognizes that temperature has changed over the past 150 years is scientific illiterate? Or you just give climate such a definition that a small change in temperature is a weather issue and not climate? |

I'd be more than happy to discuss your scientifically illiterate perspective, but suffice to say that your devotion to Global Warming has completely tainted your survey (you won't allow the perceptions that threaten you to be represented) and thus your survey is, as Tim the Plumber points out, rubbish. Religions like yours NEED to silence any and all threatening perspectives, especially those that reveal that your WACKY religious dogma runs counter to science. A valid survey would include that option and count all those who select it. You, however, cannot permit it, i.e. you are fully aware that your survey is not valid. . I don't think i can [define it].

First of all, how do you know my views on global warming and climate change? I never expressed them. Second, again, to put that option would be to look for how many people recognize the temperature variations over the past 150 years and how many don't. I'm not looking for who acknowledges or not the temperature variation. Based on the temperature variations for the past 150 years registered (which in climate discussions are not questioned by either side. What has been questioned is if NASA and other institutions have tempered the data, in order to increase the warming), what are your views on this issue and how do you position yourself in the debate. There is no option for "that is religion and you are all scientifically illiterate" because this study is not looking for how many people acknowledge temperature variations or not. However it is a valid point and it may be integrated in this study in future surveys. |

If they had asked "If a scientist said that we should consider drastic action to avoid global warming do you expect you would support that view?" I could answer but, being somebody who thinks that I should make sure I don't mislead and be rigorous, science like, in my answers I will not be able to answer. |

But there is no such question. There is a similar question only to who defends AGW. You know why? Because I don't expect someone who does not support AGW to have measures to mitigate GW! Someone that does not defend AGW can have many ideas about how we should change some behaviors regarding pollution, fisheries, deforestation, among others. But not regarding GW! And since this survey is about climate, it would make no sense to ask about mitigation to people that don't support AGW. That is why that question is optional (is only for supporters of AGW) and that is why it has only answers adequate to that view. I'm still having difficulties in understanding your criticism. Is because the survey does not give a chance to anyone who defends that there is no climate change? |

Be aware that this forum is left largely unmoderated and that for some trolling people who don't want the world turned to shit is the only joy they have in life. |
