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

Well I screwed up massively on this one. Trying to do too many things at once with insufficient medication.
I thought the poll was about the CURRENT survey so I said that I had taken it and was a skeptic. Didn’t leave a comment or a handle, and afterward realised that the poll was about the 2010 (original) version not the current one.
Is there a way to back my idiocy out?
REPLY: Not in the data now, but later now that you’ve mentioned it. You wish your answer to switch to #2 from #1 correct? Edited the text to make that 2010 distinction in your face obvious. – Anthony
Getting psychologists involved in the debate on climate science is an indication of how polarized the discussion is. There is a simple reason the climate consensus folks are losing the debate with the general public…they refuse to debate. It’s that simple.
