But it is the press, not the scientific journals, who has you believing that the 'science is settled'. It is far from it. Read the science, not the press for the story.Science isn't decided by vote, but I bet you knew that.Thought this was interesting.

Also, ~90% of respondents in an online WSJ poll believe mankind is at least partly responsible for global warming.
Wall Street Journal: Science Journal Do you believe humans are responsible for climate change?
An online poll isn't exactly the most scientific of polls, but WSJ readership skews quite heavily to upper-income, conservative and Republican.
Also, simply because 90% believe it does not mean it is correct.
true... but science does tend to be more accurately portrayed by more educated people.
It is not unprecedented at all that the press had the population believing the state of the science was something it was not.
