_ The public and scientists did not always see eye-to-eye. For example 87 percent of scientists believed that humans and other living things evolved naturally, compared with 32 percent of the general public (WTF at the disparity on that one!). And while 84 percent of scientists say the Earth is getting warmer because of human activities, just 49 percent of the public agreed.

 

 

Shows that sometimes scientists are actually less knowledgable about the reality than the public is.

Pardon me?

I see, and what primary research have you done slimebeast, as a member of the general public, with regards to climate change?

And how much research have the scientists done for climate change? A lot and they all have pretty much the same basic conclusion. Seriously, my Gfs dad did his PhD studying climate change and researched it proffesionally for years, I will take him as an average climatologist. He agrees, he says it's overblown by the media, but it is happening and a fair part of it is man made.
