Global Warming Skeptics More Factually Informed on Climate, Study Reveals

But I thought they were toothless and illiterate?

How about us new ice age, global cooling cheerleaders?

The questions in this study seem pretty arbitrary and generally meaningless. The differences in scores between the two groups is also pretty narrow.

I'm starting to feel like Zippy. It must be the commy water I've been drinking as of late.

Where's Zippy to set this straight.

I'm not surprised. I was talking with someone who believes in AGW who didn't know that CO2 was the supposed cause of global warming. That person was like "CO2? But that's what we breath out and plants breath in." But I couldn't shake the belief in AGW because that's "science." Apparently some people think global warming is only being blamed on carbon monoxide (a real pollutant) as opposed to carbon dioxide which is healthy for the atmosphere.

If you really want to blow their mind, ask them about solar activity.

All true, but if you believe the Bill Mahers of the world these results should not have been even close.
