A survey on climate science views conducted at Hans von Storch’s blogsite klimazwiebel has yielded some interesting results. Though the survey sampled only a small group of persons and not conducted scientifically, the klimazwiebel claims to be: “the only site which is almost equally well attended by skeptics and warmists, etc. Another factor that may help […]
