Cohenite, read my previous text again, then read yours again, then decide what is "usual".

In the spirit of journalistic impartiality, I offered an interesting link and snippet without partisan comment. Is that "arse-about"?

Of course, if you have issues with the article, by all means deal directly with The American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Not "arse-about" at all Sir Vivor.

"A more complete analysis of the survey results for this subset of the survey respondents will be made available on the NESTA website in early 2012."

If anything (and using cohenite's own words) - he is "arse-up", head stuck in the sand, and emits copius amounts of a particular GHG.

Bonmot, thanks for the link.

What is your point bonmot? The survey done by this National Earth Science Teachers Association mob apparently used a questionaire identical to that used by Leiserowitz, A., Smith, N. & Marlon, J.R. (2011) American Teens’ Knowledge of Climate Change which is here:

Question 4 is the money question:

Q4. Assuming global warming is happening, do you think it is…

Caused mostly by human activities
Caused by both human activities and natural changes
Caused mostly by natural changes in the environment
None of the above because global warming isn’t happening
Other
Don’t know

That is a reasonably framed question but again it will only reflect the belief of the recipient; so is your point a "consensus" argument?

No
