Global Warming Poll - What do you really believe

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

This topic has been discussed a few times on this forum, however, an anonymous poll as never been taken.

Do you really believe in man-made global warming?

pretends crikey didn't say anything :^O

[polksaladallie]

Those who do not believe in man made global warming, are still the majority.....

Very interesting results so far.......keep voting......it is anonymous!  

Are you taking into consideration those with multiple IDs?

Surely they are skewing the results.

from past exchanges i can tell you that very little of anything is taken into consideration.

Skewing results...for which side?

Does an Ebay forum poll really warrant that effort? ?:| I'm flattered you think so.. 

Still only half of those who have voted, believe in man made global warming.😄

I am genuinely surprised..:-D

This morning, poll results show that less than half of those who have voted, believe in man made global warming......it seems now that even a smaller percentage of scientists still believe in man made global warming. - 

Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of Scientists Skeptical Of Global Warming Crisis   2/13/2013

It is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.

Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all.

Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem.

The survey results show geoscientists (also known as earth scientists) and engineers hold similar views as meteorologists. Two recent surveys of meteorologists (summarized here and here) revealed similar skepticism of alarmist global warming claims.

According to the newly published survey of geoscientists and engineers, merely 36 percent of respondents fit the “Comply with Kyoto” model. The scientists in this group “express the strong belief that climate change is happening, that it is not a normal cycle of nature, and humans are the main or central cause.”

.....We now have meteorologists, geoscientists and engineers all reporting that they are skeptics of an asserted global warming crisis, yet the bureaucrats of these organizations frequently suck up to the media and suck up to government grant providers by trying to tell us the opposite of what their scientist members actually believe.

People who look behind the self-serving statements by global warming alarmists about an alleged “consensus” have always known that no such alarmist consensus exists among scientists. Now that we have access to hard surveys of scientists themselves, it is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.

"......The case for natural climate change I also present an analysis of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation which shows that most climate change might well be the result of….the climate system itself!

Because small, chaotic fluctuations in atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems can cause small changes in global average cloudiness, this is all that is necessary to cause climate change. You don’t need the sun, or any other ‘external’ influence (although these are also possible…but for now I’ll let others work on that).

It is simply what the climate system does. This is actually quit easy for meteorologists to believe, since we understand how complex weather processes are.

Your local TV meteorologist is probably a closet ‘skeptic’ regarding mankind’s influence on climate.

Climate change — it happens, with or without our help. "

i just thought i'd point out that  victoria is still wearing its summer clothes in the second month in autumn during the warmest 12 months on record. we all know what happened in Qld and NSW over the last few months for something like the 3rd year in a row. move away from the keyboard and take some time to soak up the reality of the situation. its more than just weather, its long term food security and the prospect of cooking like a rotisserie chicken in your own home. air-con wont help when the demand brings the electricity grid down.

Yep...sometimes it's hot....sometimes is cold.

Those in the Northern Hemisphere have just suffered an extremely cold winter.....:-)I

Did man cause this..... the majority of scientists and the public don't believe so.

the majority of loopy corrupt scientists maybe,  i think you ought to produce this list.. because i'm fairly sure you made that up . actually i'm certain. do you write for the tele ?
