Are they deviants who lie, twist and manipulate anything to try and bolster their position?



Either way, I really have no care to argue with a liar, or an idiot. /shrug

Yes it did. Why, how can someone make such a claim above unless they were severely ignorant or being devious?

Care to enlighten us?

Wait... you do know who Mann is right? If not, then well... the irony... very correct.

Maybe you can explain the logic in your response.

How did you take this:

You misrepresented my post - which had nothing to do with the posts about Mann and was directed only at your arrogant rant below:

Now how about you get back on topic. Explain why the OP, WUWT and the OP's Forbes article completely misrepresented the original source survey and article published in a business magazine?

Or are you guys "clueless and so ignorant, so lazy, that you can't even bother to look into the issues you carry a flag for" and "deviants who lie, twist and manipulate anything to try and bolster their position?

I think that pretty much sums up the intelligence of your response.
Well other than blindly regurgitating everything you've swallowed from WUWT, that's pretty much all your posts amount to. Calling everyone who disagrees with you 'dumb'.

Every time I see the thread title, I realize how people are misled on a daily basis.

The only true statement that can be made about this study is that a majority of those surveyed are skeptical. That is a very far cry from a majority of scientists.

And, since the sample was limited to a very small sub-set of the scientific population, all that can be said is that their opinions may represent those of the larger population of scientists also working in the two categories sampled.
It says absolutely nothing about any other scientist working in any other field.
