Weerman Gerrit Hiemstra goedgelovig?

selectief gebruik van informatie, cherrypicking, misleiding, mensen voor het lapje houden.

Dit zijn vier goocheltrucs die Labom en andere “sceptici” gebruiken om de klimaatverandering te ontkennen. Het heeft niets, maar dan ook niets met wetenschap te maken, ondanks het wetenschappelijke sausje dat er over wordt gegoten. Laat u er niet door imponeren, het hoort bij de act.

Waarom maak ik me er zo druk om? Omdat het onzin is en daar kan ik niet tegen.

'Climategate' undermined belief in global warming among TV meteorologists

A new study has shown that 'Climategate' undermined the belief in global warming, and possibly also trust in climate scientists among TV meteorologists.

Climategate' is the unauthorized release of stolen e-mails between climate scientists in the U.S. and the U. K. in late 2009.

In the largest and most representative survey of television weathercasters to date, George Mason University researchers asked these meteorologists in early 2010, when news stories about the climate e-mails were breaking, several questions about their awareness of the issue, attention to the story and impact of the story on their beliefs about climate change.

Eighty two percent of the respondents indicated they had heard of Climategate, and nearly all followed the story at least 'a little'.

Among the respondents who indicated that they had followed the story, 42 percent indicated the story made them somewhat or much more sceptical that global warming is occurring.

These results stand in stark contrast to the findings of several independent investigations of the emails, conducted later, that concluded no scientific misconduct had occurred and nothing in the emails should cause doubts about the fact which show that global warming is occurring. ...

The poll of weathercasters was conducted as part of a larger study funded by the National Science Foundation on American television meteorologists.

The results were published in the journal Bulletin of the American Meteorology Society.
