The "survey" they are referring to has absolutely nothing to do with climate change. The fact that a climate change denier knows how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun doesn't give them any insight into the complexities of our global climate. This is the usual attack they make. They think that if someone has "Dr." after their name that makes them an expert on things totally unrelated to their area of study.

Of course, Fox couldn't come up with a survey of CLIMATOLOGISTS who are global warming skeptics because there AREN'T ANY. Anyone who actually understands the science of our global ecosystem knows that the studies indicating vast and dangerous global climate changes are scientifically accurate and if anything, understatements.

fox is truth

I am a retired scientist, (computer science). Like the overwhelming majority of people with scientific training, I support anthropogenic greenhouse gas forced global warming theory.

http://www.pnas.org/content/1...

In debates with global warming deniers here on SodaHead, I have found their knowledge of science very weak. Their knowledge of statistics is particularly weak. Finally, they have no knowledge of the scientific literature. They do not even know how to cite a scientific paper.

I'm unsure what to believe, I've heard many contradicting views from different scientists, but I have little doubt that both groups are equally knowledgeable.

I'm going with the people who actually know what they're talking about, i.e. climate scientists, who all say that the world is warming, it's our fault, and it's going to get a lot worse if we don't take steps to reduce our global warming gas emissions.

The AGW denial scam is like a religion - it's not based on reason or evidence, but on ideology, politics, wishful thinking etc. As such, I suspect some people will never give it up. If it ever dies out completely it will be because the last of the faithful die out.

Dinosaur Farts Caused Sauropodogenic Global Warming, Says Study
Ronald Bailey | May 7, 2012

A new study, Could Methane Produced by Sauropod Dinosaurs Have Helped Drive Mesozoic Climate Warmth?, [PDF] in Current Biology suggests that dinosaur flatulence may have boosted global average temperatures by as much as 18 degrees Fahrenheit in the Mesozoic era over today's temperatures. The British researchers basically scaled up estimates of the amount of methane that cows produce today to the amount that might have been produced by herds of giant reptiles. Methane's global warming potential is about 25-fold greater than that of carbon dioxide.

Science at it's best.

We have radically changed the composition of the global atmosphere by burning trillions of tons of fossil fuels. We have changed the global ocean to a more acidic pH. What makes you so confident that we can't change the global climate too?
