UN Style Empirical Research « NoFrakkingConsensus

Does anyone truly believe there was once a golden era in which humans could count on the weather?

This “empirical research” was a survey of people’s perceptions. Perceptions aren’t the same as reality. Twenty-two percent of Americans say they’ve seen or felt the presence of a ghost. This does not prove that ghosts exist. (Have I mentioned that this workshop was held in the Einstein Room?)

It appears unlikely that this massive study generated any new, reliable insight into climate change. Rather, Warner’s commentary above suggests that if a UN researcher asks enough leading questions even migrant, subsistence farmers try to provide answers they think the researcher wants to hear.
