Global warming skeptics as knowledgeable about science as climate change believers, study says
Are global warming skeptics anti-science? Or just ignorant about science?
Maybe neither. A study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change finds that people who are not that worried about the effects of global warming tend to have a slightly higher level of scientific knowledge than those who are worried...

Reps: 103,304,426,856,538,528 (power: 103,304,426,856,543) | | ...The quiz, containing 22 questions about both science and statistics, was given to 1,540 representative Americans. Respondents who were relatively less worried about global warming got 57 percent of them right, on average, just barely outscoring those whose who saw global warming as a bigger threat. They got 56 percent of the questions correct.

"This study is agnostic on what people ought to believe," he told FoxNews.com. "It just doesn’t follow to say this finding implies anything about what people should believe on this issue."
That 1% means an awful lot to conservatives i guess...
Taking into account lucky guesses makes the extra 1% pretty much meaningless.

Just so you know, "Nature" is of liberal media/print and not part of Fox or conservative operatives.

Lol.
Defeat?
More like something completely insignificant.
It will defeat the "warmists' agenda" by...showing that those in the general populous who deny global warming and those who believe global warming's scientific knowledge to be the same?
Maybe if they did it with Climate Scientists, and the questions were only about the worlds climate, it would mean something.

Since when has Fox News cared about such things like margin of error? |
