Anyone who disagrees with Anthropogenic Global Warming doesn't know what they are talking about

Unnnnh - actually, not so much - from FOX News:

Study: Global warming skeptics know more about climate science
Are global warming skeptics simply ignorant about climate science?

Not so, says a forthcoming paper in the journal Advances in Political Psychology by Yale Professor Dan Kahan. He finds that skeptics score about the same (in fact slightly better) on climate science questions.

The study asked 2,000 respondents nine questions about where they thought scientists stand on climate science.

On average, skeptics got about 4.5 questions correct, whereas manmade warming believers got about 4 questions right.

 And this is not the first - a bit more:

The study comes on the heels of a 2012 study that found that global warming skeptics know just as much about science; the new study specifically quizzed people on climate science.

Climatologists who are skeptical about the extent of man-made global warming say the results don’t surprise them.

“It's easy to believe in the religion of global warming.  It takes critical thinking skills to question it,” Roy Spencer, a climatologist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, told FoxNews.com.

I agree 100% with Dr. Spencer - we started out drinking the Kool-Aid and it took a lot of serious thought to see through the claims and to critically examine the evidence and draw a differing conclusion. Things are a bit easier for "skeptics" these days as all the time, new evidence comes in showing us to be right and also, new examinations of the AGW-ers models show them to be deeply flawed.
