Surprised at the results I got 10 out of 13 and would have done possibly better if I didn't rush through it. I remembered this from school and news broadcast. Disappointed in the percentage of lower scores. Thank you Mr Erhardt 8th grade science and Mr Lease 6th grade science I started to learn comprehension along with reading

Nailed it, but didn't agree with the "most scientists believe...C02" answer.

402, you have to take into consideration that "Most Scientists" only includes the ones coming out in support in the MSM. REAL scientists are still in the lab performing research...

With that in mind, the MSM questionnaire only has one answer.
