Fox News has just reviewed the content of an article in Nature Climate Change:
Global warming skeptics as knowledgeable about science as climate change believers, study says (Fox)
The polarizing impact of science literacy and numeracy on perceived climate change risks (Nature)
Dan Kahan and 6 co-authors were testing the science comprehension thesis (SCT) claiming that the people who are not worried about “climate change” are less knowledgeable about science. They gave a science quiz to 1,540 Americans who were also measured when it comes to the degree of their climate hysteria.
What are the results?
Three cheers for science.
It only takes a tiny bit of common sense to see through Gore’s scifi movie, not a university degree.
Much as I enjoy the results of the poll shown, I expect that the error range is plus or minus 3%, which pretty much puts the skeptics and the believers at the same spot.
