"38% answered very harmful and 38% said ...Hmm.<br />"38% answered very harmful and 38% said somewhat harmful, so harmful in some way was the answer given by 76% of the respondents."<br />"30% answered very worried and 42% answered somewhat worried, suggesting 72% would consider that worry was warranted."<br />I would think that, since my main interest in the question is, "Must we immediately begin taking expensive mitigation steps or can we afford to wait for better information" - well, from my point of view, Somewhat harmful and Somewhat worried = No. I would summarize: <i>Most</i> respondents were not all that concerned.MikeRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127456522803816485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-71425774209781056502012-03-09T17:50:31.466+01:002012-03-09T17:50:31.466+01:00Very interesting surveys!

There are no longer high commissariats which might decide "who is to be educated, what is it we want them to know " etc. <br /><br />And I think there is no regulation in this world which will make a Latif, Grassl, von Storch, Schellnhuber or whoever present a specific and common version of climate change - the will always tell their own versions. No chance to change that, I guess -:)Werner Krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15094636819952421339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-37900527109921840122012-03-09T16:05:18.787+01:002012-03-09T16:05:18.787+01:00An incompetent consensus cannot "educate"...An incompetent consensus cannot "educate" the public, it can only indoctrinate them with incompetent dogma--as it has done for over 20 years now.Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-40393717398551999742012-03-09T10:11:38.126+01:002012-03-09T10:11:38.126+01:00"Are climate scientists the appropriate link ..."Are climate scientists the appropriate link for front .line interaction with the public?"<br /><br />NOAA means yes. There was a session at the AGU on this. Here are some hints how to convince even republicans and ultra-konservatives machos of the Science of climate change:<br /><br />http://vimeo.com/33298236<br /><br />1) Dont use words such as "reduction", "control", "desaster" instead use "entrepreneurship", "inovation" etc<br /><br />2) Dont repeat climate "myths", dont even mention the name of your opponents.<br /><br />3) Show masculin pictures. No sissyish kneeling down when putting solar panels on your roof but masculin climbing up a 50 meter windmill tower.<br /><br />4) Keep it very simple.<br /><br />5) Repeat as much as possible the message.<br /><br />etc etc.Georg Hoffmannhttp://www.scienceblogs.de/primaklima/noreply@blogger.com
