Everybody go vote in this Scientific American survey on global warming

The survey is here on the Scientific American web site. (H/T ECM)

Questions:

  • Should climate scientists discuss scientific uncertainty in mainstream forums?
  • Judith Curry is:
  • What is causing climate change?
  • The IPCC, or Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is:
  • What should we do about climate change?
  • What should we do about climate change?
  • What is “climate sensitivity”?
  • Which policy options do you support?
  • How much would you be willing to pay to forestall the risk of catastrophic climate change?

My answers were:

  • Yes, it would help engage the citizenry.
  • a peacemaker.
  • natural processes
  • a corrupt organization, prone to groupthink, with a political agenda.
  • Nothing, we are powerless to stop it.
  • an unknown variable that climate scientists still do not understand
  • keeping science out of the political process
  • nothing

Take the survey! It’s important to send them a message.

  1. It’s going to be bombarded with false results.

    An e-poll ANYTHING that is mildly interesting gets exploited out of being usable; a survey on web comics had someone circumventing the system in such a way that there were more votes for that one comic in an hour than for all the rest of the comics combined in a several week timeperiod.

    With something as ego-connected as global warming? Yeah, there’s going to be mad cheating. >.<
