All 13, but one question was a ringer: “What gas do MOST scientists believe causes temperatures in the atmosphere to rise”

Except that it’s not even close to “MOST” scientists.

Aced it, but that’s not the point. The point is women don’t know as much as men.

Yes, but even fewer “scientists” “agree” that the other gases listed cause atmospheric temperatures to rise.

Bingo! That gives you (and me) a bonus point for seeing thru the ruse. That gives us 14 out of 13. Congrats

I was not counting during the test. Was: Are you MALE / FEMALE” one of the thirteen questions?

13/13. 65+ They all wish those like me would just go ahead and die, unfortunately. I’m just an old geezer - what do I know that’s worth a sh!t?
