I'm deeply suspicious about that poll: they'll be furiously correlating the attitude to JC with the attitude to CAGW generally and I'm prepared to bet that they'll find that there is indeed a strong correlation.
Warmist response: JC's gone native and can therefore be thrown under the bus. the fact that sciam has a large sceptic readership that has bothered to respond to this poll will be meaningless - it'll be dismissed as astroturfing or somesuch.
No 1 said- actually, thats good enough for government work No 2 said- actually, not only that, we walk on water No 3 said- actually, all that but triple plus, we've got more papers than a roll of andrex
The considerted opinion of a blog that wouldn't recognise science if it ran them over with a ten ton truck and they were asked to recognise their assailant.
Josh.Re your comments over at WUWT re the Monckton/Delingpole 'dis-invitation'. You mention Lucia @ Blackboard, could I have link please. I can also find no mention of Delingpole being 're-invited. In which case Lord Monckton will be left picking though the left-overs when Helmer & Agnew have gone at 1.30, duly watched by Acton, Davies, Liss and Andrews who will have finished theirs. In any case James is in India checking 'bio-diversity loss'.

The results of the Scientific American poll on the state of climate science makes very interesting reading.

It would appear, despite the very mis-leading questions, the sceptical side of SciAm readers shows thru.
I suppose we are all sceptics now.
Nice one.

The IPCC, or Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is:
*...
* a corrupt organization, prone to groupthink, with a political agenda. 79.1%
*...
Wow!

Josh, on the ball again.
You are inspired.

Excellent!
Josh, great.
Had to think who JC was. Jesus Christ? John Christy? ah, of course... "our" Judith Curries-no-favours.
Does UEA stand for "Useless Ears Acton?" Very Simian Josh!
Three Sir Humphreys all in a row.

Priceless.

Josh. Sorry, have now found Lucia and 'The Blackboard'. She makes quite a meal of 'Lunchgate'.
