Participate in a survey measuring consensus in climate research
You're invited to rate the abstracts of the climate papers with the purpose of estimating the level of consensus regarding the proposition that humans are causing global warming. The survey involves reading and rating 10 random abstracts and is expected to take around 15 minutes. You have the option of signing up to receive the final results of the survey and be notified when our ERL paper on consensus is published.

How climate scientists are being framed | Graham Readfearn | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Apart from Delingpole, Devine and Ferrara constructing an alternative reality where human-caused climate change is largely overblown bunkum, their columns have something else in common – the use of framing.

So when we think about climate scientists, Delingpole has them in a criminal court, Devine has them victimising children and Ferrara characterises them as puppets of a regime.

The potential outcome – intentional or otherwise - is to make us either feel grubby about accepting the genuine serious consequences of human-caused climate change or grubby about the science itself and the people doing it.

On the grubbiness scale, being the resident environmental activist at the UKGuardian is the equivalent of eating out of the cat's box.

Fine for dogs and communists, but normal people might want to use a dewormer.
