Climate change poll results for April 2008.

[SnowBear]

This is the results from the NetWeather poll held over the past month to create a snapshot on current views of members on Climate Change and associated research and issues. Many thanks to all who entered the poll, some interesting results.

I will be posting a new poll within the next day or so. It will have 3 "stickies", those being..

• AGW or natural reasons for the recent climate change?
  
• Do you think we will cool or warm from now on?
  
• Does Solar activity effect our climate more than is currently thought? (By request and I agree, with the current thoughts and research it will be good to see how folks ideas and thoughts on this matter changes over the next little while.)
  

The remaining two are variable, and if anyone has any ideas on what to pose please PM me your ideas. They must be relevant to the discussions currently ongoing in our threads but not about political matters or for "point scoring".
