Public opinion sidebar bias
Ref: Proportion responding yes when asked, "Temperature rise is part of global warming or climate change. Do you think rising temperatures are [...] a result of human activities?" This is a biased question. The first sentence biases the result. And what's this [...] mean? Had the first sentence not been provided, the results would have been different. You could just as easily have stated that "Temperature falling is part of global cooling or climate change." and what would the results have been? Whoever did this is a professional.--71.245.164.83 (talk) 02:39, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Public opinion is political
Just to remind readers, that public opinion is political, manipulated, and not scientific. E.g. the truth of a matter is not necessarily rested in popular opinion. Seek the facts and not the opinion. IMO, this article is worthless as a reference. --71.245.164.83 (talk) 02:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
