UPDATE: There are so many respondents (thank you) and since it is clear that about 97% of WUWT readers hadn’t seen/participated in 2010 Lewandowsky survey, that we’ve added a second thread to get the most important part of the data.
You can still record your participation/non-participation below in the question form, but if you DID PARTICPATE in 2010 please also see this new thread:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/09/14/the-lewandowsky-participation-census-re-booted/
People who previously answered that they DID participate in 2010 are encourage to drop a note in comments at that new thread.
At the suggestion of Steve McIntyre, I’m posting this request because we know that both AGW proponents and skeptics alike read WUWT daily. It therefore is the most broad reaching venue to ask this simple question:
Did you participate in the Lewandowsky conspiracy opinions survey anywhere in the year 2010 on any blog? (if you are unfamiliar with it and don’t know if you did/did not, read Lewandowsky’s paper here)
There are two steps: First I ask you to do the poll below, then leave a comment with your usual handle in the comment section signifying your answering the question.
Note that unlike the Lewandowsky poll, safeguards are in place to prevent vote stuffing.
Step 1: Answer the question below
Step2: Leave a comment in your usual handle/name below stating your answer in Step 1 (note Steve’s re-boot at the top of WUWT to leave a comment in the other thread if you did participate).
This will be a sticky top post for a few days. Please ONLY LEAVE COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR PARTICIPATION YES/NO. Most others will be deleted. Thanks for your consideration – Anthony
I am a skeptic and did not participate in Lewd’s 2010 survey.
Skeptic–I missed the existence of the survey until 2012.
Skeptic, did not participate
Skeptical h8er, & not only did I not participate, I’d never even heard of it in all the weblogs I regularly read.
Interesting, there is 18 on the first choice. I had near by accident clicked on vote without changing the setting. However, I caught my error before I hit vote. I am a skeptic and did not participate.
Skeptic, did not participate in 2010 survey.
Well you can rule Me out then, because with the questions in that poll the Lew put out, it’s like he’s a border collie herding sheep into a pin. So no matter how you answer it you go in the pin anyway.
I’m a skeptic and did not participate in the survey.
I am a practitioner of math/science and I did not participate in the really stupid poll (recently exposed as such)! Absolutes about complex histories and situations really set my teeth on edge.
In 2010, I regularly visited WUWT, Climate Audit, Bishop Hill, (visits to each site were more than twice a week). I occasionally visited Bishop Hill, JoNova and No Frakking Consensus (About once per week – two weeks for the latter sites. Once a month or so, I’d visit Lucia’s site.
I had already decided that visits to Real Climate was a useless undertaking as they were vicious, condescending and definitely lacking on science. That apparently is the only warmista pro CAGW site I’d visited on my own moore than once.
I do not remember any of these sites mentioning this survey back in 2010. Other sites that leaned towards questioning CAGW findings I visited when links took me there.
My handle used back then was TedK and changed when WUWT started using WordPress logon IDs. Since my WordPress account handle is ATheoK, I’ve used that handle since then amongst the climate/weather sites. Both handles are derivations of my name and recognizable to my friends.
It seems no one had seen this survey prior to the results being published.
Did they just poll a bunch of sockpuppets to make it look legit?
Don’t like the categories, but AGW proponent fits me better than skeptic. Did not know about or participate in the survey.
Skeptic, did NOT vote.
Skeptic, did not participate.
Skeptic and blissfully unaware of the survey.
Really? The moon landing was faked? I never knew that!
I’m a skeptic and I did NOT participate in the Lew. survey in 2010
Skeptic non-participant and I hadn’t heard of this until last week.
I am a skeptic and I did not participate in the survey
Skeptic – did NOT participate
No
I am a sceptic and did not know of, and because of that fact, participate in the survey. I would enjoy participating in a “conspiracy theory” survey because I am also a sceptic about all the conspiracy theory topics which abound in Northern California. Here, our Liberals are true believers in many conspiracy theories, including jet aircraft vapor trails actually being the spraying of various substances to make them ill or mess over their minds. They also believe in energy company conspiracies to confuse the public about anthropogenic global warming, and that 911 and the Iraq invasion were right-wing excuses to get control over Middle-Eastern oil. Opposition to Smart Meters runs high – any health problem experienced by Liberals here seems to attach itself to the ill effects of low-level radiation immediately. There was also a campaign against irradiated meat, and there is an ongoing campaign against Genetically Engineered foods, including ones which are proven to prevent juvenile blindness from vitamin A deficiencies and those that combat world hunger by increasing productivity while reducing water, fertilizer, and pesticide use. All things negative are blamed on big business conspiracies and on globalization, which is considered the ultimate and primary big business conspiracy. The Left here appear to be demoralized and powerless against the dark forces of progress in science. As they accuse skeptics of rejecting science, they reject all science that does not fit their belief systems.
Did not participate in nay such poll and never heard of the guy until the recent brouhaha.
etudiant you should be asking your self and your peers the same.
Skeptic – No
Skeptic. Did not take survey in 2010.
Did not participate.
