Germans Give Climate Science The Big Thumbs Down « P Gosselin – NoTricksZone

At Die Welt, readers who write comments can be rated by other readers with either a “thumbs up” if you agree with the comment, or a “thumbs down” if you don’t. So I counted up the number of “thumbs up” and the number of “thumbs down” for the first 20 reader comments that appeared after the above mentioned piece. The result (Saturday, 5:15 pm):

Number agreeing with the sceptics: 1864 (90.2%)
Number agreeing with the warmists: 203 ( 9.8%)

Wunderbar! Alarmist climate science has lost it’s credibility, authority and trust, it seems. There’s hope for real climate science after all. Yes, a broad majority of informed Germans, at least Die Welt readers, believe climate science forecasts fundamentally are rubbish. Sure this is not a real survey. But to me it’s a clear signal.

Some online papers have even given up allowing readers to have their say, having grown tired of being told their “news” are rubbish. So give Die Welt some credit for allowing readers to have a voice.

Anyway, check out the paper, and call your favorite climate modeler to let them know they’ve got the wrong answer. Either that or call the balloon and satellite guys and tell them to add some trend back in.
