I am a smart ar*e 10/10

All you got to do is to take in to account who is posting the questions and Bobs your uncle.

Hello uncle Bob

Besides the dubious use of "PC" on the front page (sadly becoming a yellow flag in itself these days) and the fact that the site's authors are employed by the WV coal industry, this was a cute little quiz. 9/10.

I think it paraphrases Aaron Eckhart's character in "Thank You for Smoking".

Thank you, waste gate. It's 1:29, I have a written Norwegian book language exam tomorrow, needed a laugh.

People, before you leave, make sure you also stop by for the Pope's interesting quiz about condoms! Totally objective and based on sound science:p!

:rotfl:No, no, take my NorOps quiz first. With questions such as 'which mod leader become Mr. Scandinavia in 2004, 2005, and 2006', it's incredibly enlightening and should give you a far better picture of me, my mod, and this forum.

I stop at Question 3 and it is supposed to be 'scientific'
I didn't make it past the explanation for question 1 - the old, refuted argument that since there's a natural process, everything's fine.

Which of course it isn't when the warming is far faster than the natural one.

It also makes some non sequituir statements, such as 'industry didn't cause global warming in the Middle Ages, so it hasn't caused it this time, either'. It's like a suspected robber going, 'we didn't rob that other bank, so why do you accuse us of robbing this one?'.
