Fox News on a paper in the journal
Nature Climate Change:
Are global warming skeptics anti-science? Or just ignorant about science?
Maybe neither. A study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change finds
that people who are not that worried about the effects of global
warming tend to have a slightly higher level of scientific knowledge
than those who are worried.......
As respondents’ science literacy scores increased, their concern with
climate change decreased," the paper, which was funded by the National
Science Foundation, notes.
But some of the 16 scientists who signed a letter this January titled "No Need to Panic About Global Warming" disagree.
Dr. Richard Lindzen, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT, was
one skeptical scientist who signed the letter. He said that the finding
that skeptics know as much or more about science surprised him "not at
all."
UPDATE
Anthony Watts has also a post on this study.....LINK.
