Science Museum's climate change poll backfires - Telegraph
A poll by the Science Museum designed to convince the nation of the perils posed by climate change has backfired after being hijacked by sceptics.Science Museum - Home - PROVE IT!: At the moment, the climate fraud believers are outgunned 6.7 to one

But so far those backing the campaign are out-numbered nearly six-to-one by opponents.

By Saturday, 2,385 people who took the poll said “count me out” compared to just 415 who said “count me in”, after being asked whether they agreed with the statement: “I’ve seen the evidence. And I want the government to prove they’re serious about climate change by negotiating a strong, effective, fair deal at Copenhagen.”

The media was all about how less important climate change is to Australians and gave little coverage to the Greens’ amendments and efficiency bills.Green Left - Copenhagen: illusions on the edge of a precipice
It’s a long way from the politics-free world of the laboratory and peer-reviewed journals, but outside those confined spaces the politics is hard to avoid.
In public, scientists are hammered by sceptics, and those on the public payroll find their advocacy regularly restrained by government.

The Science Museum poll is invalidated because the email confirmation doesn't work.
Someone set up a computer to automatically hike the votes up.
Today the 'count me in' vote is just as high as the 'count me out' vote. The best thing the museum can do is to take it off line.
