Pilfered from another NG. I'd be surprised if most people here didn't score 13/13. Pretty much junior high school level.
Quoted:
"I think you will find this interesting! Here?s a quiz on how much science adults know. Only 7% of the adult population gets all 13 questions correct. See how you do.
You forget, "junior high school level" for the majority of the world equates to "master's degree level" for the USA.
very basic stuff
There's a bit of truth in that, it also applies to PhD's out of China. I've had the misfortune to have worked with both. :)

** Many of the Qs are simply general knowledge re matter that are at least somewhat scientific.Mythbusters watchers would probably have scored high.
I'm a little surprised that the figure is as high as 7%.
The wide spread public faith in AGW suggests a much lower number.

**Wrong conclusion. Those who do not accept AGW theory are morons. Complete, utter scientific ignoramii. People like these idiots:
None have any clue about science, generally and climatology, specifically.
Of course, each one is a religious nutter as well.
AGW theory was first proposed by that great mathemetician, Fourier. It was later confirmed by Arrhenius. Since then, predictions are scarily accurate:
Science supports AGW theory. Religion denies the obvious facts. Religion and the exceptionally ignorant.
** That last line describes you to a "T" Trevor.
FYI:
The word is "ignoramuses."

**Quite so. Thank you for the correction. Those people I listed and anyone who does not accept AGW theory as possessing validity is an ignoramous.
