The problem I have based on what I read is that the person doing the study only feels you are irrational/illogical if you don't believe humans are causing global warming. Are people also considered irrational/illogical when they continue to believe it even when contradictory evidence is submitted? It sounds to me like in his opinion human create climate change is a fact, and I think many think that is debateable at best, but if you choose not to believe it as fact only then are you irrational/illogical.

Re: Partisanship versus reason
The article i posted and the scientific paper are separate entities. (primary vs. secondary sources) The article is annoying and biased. It also doesn't go into the actual methods. So before you jump the gun you may want to take a look at them.

What they did was supply a 2x2 chart and a multiple choice answer for you to interpret what the chart said. If the data was different from what your politically party believed, there was a large increase in the number of incorrect answers.

Re: Partisanship versus reason
Saw that as well. Taken from this study.

Heres the article.
Climate change models may not be accurate after all as study finds most widely overestimated global warming | Mail Online
The hate one receives for casting doubt on the science of climate change is nearly unmatched by any other subject. I'll be shocked if the MSM doesn't go to great lengths to discredit this study, even though there is no denial of climate change, just a criticism of the accuracy of the science, which in turn is used to create policy.
Mr Christy agrees that there has been some warming over time, but says man-made greenhouse gasses are not as big of a driver of climate change as many think -- and that many scientists are in denial about their mistakes.-Lazarus- liked this post

Sort of like what this guy observed in the 50's.

I just find it funny that i have seen posts like yours in a few different places lately, and the very people posting this material tend to be the most rabid when their views are challenged. Not in all cases, but enough to raise an eyebrow.
