Take this at your leisure, answer honestly. Link follows.
Take the Tol Poll here
1. Yes, THAT Richard Tol
2. Yes, the data will be made available, see end page.
UPDATE: the poll has been hacked by some zealot it appears, don’t bother. I’ll advise if there is a second one. -Anthony
UPDATE2:
As far as I can see, there was no hack. Someone got a bot to submit 10,000 answers, though. I cannot remove these at the moment, as I exceeded my quota. The interweb tells me that is temporary.
In case you are wondering…

That just links to the spreadsheet of data?
Refresh, I had the wrong link in my clipboard. Fixed.
A spread sheet on Goggle+ ????
Yeah, that’s all I’m getting too – and it’s in Google Docs, as well as open to editing (at least I can edit it, not sure about Anonymous accounts.) Not good.
lol richard tol is actively logged in checking it right now and i can see his cursor moving. As greg said thats looking like results not questions.
Blimey
?? Maybe it is not quite ready for prime time…..
Annoying, one option should be “do not know”, I do not recognize all the names!
Link goes to google docs spreadsheet??
“I don’t know” means leave it blank it worked when i submitted.
Be nice if they added a few sub sections like “have you personally been censored by this person” or something along that line.
Isn’t it very nasty to be inviting ratings that include “very nasty”?
what’s with the “how do you rate yourself” …..last question
…either way, you’re doomed
I did recognize all the names. It was an interesting poll.
I do not find Steve McIntyre particularly friendly. Honest forthright, straightforward, accommodating and respectful — maybe — but friendly? I dunno — not if you are a twit it seems — and barely tolerant of the Racehorse Crowd…
A change in wording to something that catches the idea of respect for the person and the way they put forward their ideas and research, and captures their willingness to work with people willing to learn might be better — but I managed to cope.
So I thought of the word “friendly” in that way and answered the poll — no problem.
It would have been more honest if they just said “who do you like?”
Fantastic!
I suppose that this BS is a crude attempt to shoot dowm other BD
I am dismayed by this. I thought that you had better standards.
Looks like the votes are being recorded @ur momisugly a rate of one about every 7 seconds.
Hmmm. I don’t know any of these people. 🙁
Link fixed – thanks Anthony.
Still, it is pretty simplistic. Maybe not BS (per RC Saumarez) – but of small value.
I guess I passed a couple of minutes, though.
Auto.
Is this a joke? It’s even more facile than the Cooke stuff.
Who was the schmuck that rated McIntyre a “1” ???
I was unaware that “nasty” or “friendly” had anything to do with science.
TC “Is this a joke? It’s even more facile than the Cooke stuff.”
Wait for the surprise.
The results are interesting . For now .
I filled it in, but I wonder where we are going with this. Polls like this are easily hi jacked.
And what exactly is the purpose of this poll? Science is not a popularity contest, you might as well ask who is prettier.. it would make as much difference..
