A rather thin but quite telling story of the ignorance of citizens and voters regarding global climate change. The entire survey is included in a link.

This article accurately conveys the reality that most Americans lack knowledge about the many factors that affect climate change. It falls short, however, in providing helpful context, and it echoes all the usual assumptions associated with the anthropogenic theory of catastrophic global warming.

This opinion piece is poor journalism. The author made no effort to find relevant information. Otherwise the report would say that scientists themselves are uncertain about what controls global climate. Only an advocacy group claim that temperatures would increase by 5 to 9 F is quoted, when in fact most models predict lower temperature increases and none are considered scientifically sound. The author could have said that the role of the sun, of clouds and aerosols, and of the subsurface and ocean environments in climate are yet to be understood.

An anonymous source (no by-line) grades responses to a questionnaire on a subject that 90% of the respondents don't feel an effective case has been made. Assuming the correctness of their opinion places them well beyond the bounds of journalism.
