4. Do you think that MOST SCIENTISTS believe that:

Climate change is occurring

Climate change is not occurring

Views are evenly divided
Of course the climate is changing... because the climate has ALWAYS changed, and did so long before the supposed evil, polluting humans were around. The real question should have been:

4. Do you think that MOST SCIENTISTS believe that:

Human activity makes a significant difference regarding climate change

Human activity makes no significant difference regarding climate change

Read the question again. Maybe a lot more slowly this time. It doesn't ask if there's climate change. It doesn't ask if you think there's climate change. It specifically asks ''Do you think that most scientists believe in anthropogenic climate change.
Damn! How could you have a hope in hell in figuring out the answers if you can't understand the questions?

I have seen this quiz before. It is not hard, and any well informed person should get most of them right. Some of them are just opinions and one is totally incorrect. The quiz is so biased that it is beyond pathetic. Only a person dumb as a rock would think this is suitable quiz.

They could have replaced this Quiz with.
Is Obama great?
Yes
No
And it would give almost the same result.

And no I don't think Fox News viewers are smart. They are just as dumb as CNN viewers, and anyone who think this quiz had any merit.

11 out of 11. Like all fact based things the right wing nutjobs will claim it is partisan and untrue mostly because they are drooling idiots who cannot handle facts or reality.

The questions weren't hard, so there is no need to pat yourself on the back.

But where you really failed was saying this quiz is not partisan. Anyone with half a brain can see it is partisan. If you just vote with "Obama is right about everything" mentality you will get most of them right.

Very interesting. I got 100% correct, but then again I do not inform myself by watching FOX or CNN.

It is easy to tell which posters here get their information from FOX and believe it 100%. They are the least informed posters on this board, but very active in posting their misinformation.

Melissa Harris Perry has informed me how deep the Socialist convergence of America is developing with statements like this "your childern are not yours they are owned by the community"
Talk of uniformed and dumbdown viewers look no further than that Lean Forward crowd...
