Climate Change poll:


I got this off a climate change blog. It should make you wonder, if your TV news reports climate change as a fact, does their weather guy or gal agree. Unfortunately, news is so politicized now that many people who do not believe the lie of "Man made global warming" are told what to say under threat of losing their source of employment.

regardless of what you believe, the results of this survey are interesting...

Opportunities and Obstacles for Television Weathercasters to Report on Climate Change http://ams.allenpress.com/archive/1520-0477/90/10/pdf/i1520-0477-90-10-1457.pdf

The survey was distributed by e-mail to broadcast meteorologists on the AMS listserve (numbering approximately 800) the week of 8 May 2008. There were 121 responses by 7 June, which was more than the expected goal of 100. Direct comparisons between this highly selective sample of AMS members and the larger random mail sample of all TV weathercasters published in 2002 are difficult. Different questions and methodologies were used. General patterns will be noted, but since this sample is selected from only AMS meteorologists, we can’t know from these data whether all TV weathercasters share their perspectives or not. Presumably, AMS sealholders are more scientifically trained than the general population of all on-air weathercasters. Ultimately, we surveyed this group because they are the primary targets of the new online instructional course that will count toward AMS professional development credits.

15. As a TV weathercaster, I should be knowledgeable about the basic conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment.
Strongly Agree (1)28 Agree (2)52 Neutral (3)13 Disagree (4)5 Strongly Disagree (5)2

16. Respond to this IPCC conclusion: “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal.”
Strongly Agree (1)17% Agree (2)28% Neutral (3)21% Disagree (4)20% Strongly Disagree (5)14%

17. Respond to this IPCC conclusion: “Most of the warming since 1950 is very likely human-induced.”
Strongly Agree (1)8% Agree (2)16% Neutral (3)25% Disagree (4)24% Strongly Disagree (5)26%

20. Global climate models are reliable in their projections for a warming of the planet.
Strongly Agree (1) Agree (2)16 Neutral (3)20 Disagree (4)37 Strongly Disagree (5)25

21. Global climate models are reliable in their projections for precipitation and drought.
Strongly Agree (1)1% Agree (2)18% Neutral (3) 29% Disagree (4)36% Strongly Disagree (5)16%

22. Global climate models are reliable in their projections for local weather patterns.
Strongly Agree (1)0% Agree (2)14% Neutral (3)25% Disagree (4)38% Strongly Disagree (5)24%

18. Respond to one TV weathercaster’s quote saying: “Global warming is a scam.”
Strongly Agree (1)10% Agree (2)19% Neutral (3)26% Disagree (4)23% Strongly Disagree (5)22%


So, while some say this "debate" is over, many among the so called experts seem to still have doubts. pResident Obama is about to go to Copenhagen with intentions of mortgaging America's sovreignty and future when a private poll of so called experts does not appear to agree with the so called facts being given to the sheeple. This is a subject where most people just blindly believe what they are told. They do not learn about the subject or look into anymore than the surface of the issue. If that does not change, America will be just another word in a history book and the freedom you know will only something to be remembered.
