“More informed respondents both feel less personally responsible for global warming, and also show less concern for global warming,”
More informed = less gullible.
Duh.

The more people “learn” about Global Warming, the more they realize it is Junk Science to be ignored.

Did they seriously cite a children’s movie about the ending of a natural phenomenon that had nothing to do with humans (Ice Age: The Meltdown) as part of an awareness campaign for “global warming”?
Maybe the apathy is because more and more people are starting to see through the sham?

Increased knowledge of Global Warming means that one is aware that there is no such thing as Human generated Global Warming, thus to do nothing to fix it, or APATHY as it were, is the correct answer to a problem (that does not exist).

This is like saying that the people know how to do long-division but prefer calculators; what worries these driven advocates is that they can’t get the general public ginned up to riot stage before they go on to the next crisis on the agenda.

“There are no industry standards, so to speak, for measuring knowledge about global warming. We opted for this straightforward measure and realize that other measures might produce different results.”
What measure? Did they describe it somewhere?
“Have you drunk the coolaide? Are you waiting for Landrew to guide us? Is Al Gore the prophet?”
Bah.

Global warming deserves to be ignored, but none of the leftist kooks running for president will ignore it.

I think the Global Warming FRAUD is comming out and more knowleged invites debate. (ie how do micro climates around sensors on hot pavement affect readings>)
HONEST Debate hurts the left.

The study does not target the shyster businessmen/scientists and power-hungry politicians who are trying to gain from the new globular-warming religion. If the study focused on these people, it would show how badly they really care.

The more they learn about Global Warming, which I happen to believe in to a certain extent, the more they realize that its mostly hyperbole.
