Study: Climate skeptics and proponents score highest on climate science literacy…but are the most...

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for sharing another interesting post SSgt (Join to see). To be honest I am not surprised that the recent study results demonstrate that climate skeptics and proponents score highest on climate science literacy…but are the most polarized. I certainly line up on the side of the skeptics side of man-primarily-responsible-for-climate changes skeptics side.

I have been interested in weather since I can remember. Starting in around the 6th grade, I used to look at the charts in the newspaper and try and guess the next time it would rain. I was right pretty often. I took meteorology in High School and when I joined the Air Force, I was torn between weather observation and electronics. Then, I discovered Weather Equipment, the best of both worlds! I spent a lot of time in the weather station asking questions and watching the observers and forecasters do their jobs. I watched a lot of weather patterns on the radar and saw some strange stuff occur. I've continued my interest and even have a weather station on my house. What have I learned is that Mother Earth not only has a way of balancing itself, it does what it wants therefore the dire consequences that proponents predict are unsubstantial and most likely erroneously conceived. It baffles me that people think that replacing carbon-emitting vehicles with a vehicle that outputs what amounts to a heavier greenhouse gas (water vapor). Carbon can be a pollutant so, I'm not saying keeping the output to a minimum is wrong, it just that the logic of proponents is even worse. So, yes I'm a skeptic.
