What is your science background? I%26#039;m interested in knowing the science background of people that have strong feelings on this issue. I%26#039;d like to know whether you believe in anthropogenic global warming (just yes or no!) and tell me if you have any degrees, what they%26#039;re in, relevant classes you%26#039;ve taken, etc. I%26#039;d like to find out how true my own personal stereotypes are. Please be truthful, thanks.

Thanks for the answers so far. I appreciate that most people have taken it seriously, only a couple have not answered it. I%26#039;m going to leave it open for a while, I%26#039;m hoping to hear from some of the frequent responders in this group.

I believe that humans have an effect on the climate. I can%26#039;t deny it. We are a part of nature. However, the answer to %26#039;Is %26quot;global warming%26quot; anthropogenic?%26#039; is: insignificantly. I despise litter, excess consumption, and opulence. I am an avid outdoorsman and Scouter, and believe that we will inherit the earth, so we need to treat it like our home.

My background: bach. science (education) major: industrial education, post-graduate studies in statistics, quality control, and research, Air Force (aircraft maintenance officer) stationed at Tinker AFB, Elmendorf AFB, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Occupation: facilities manager at Clark Planetarium.

Biology, along with lots natural science, could say I was one of those hippie professional students. Did a little coop work with a struggling alternative energy company but that field disappeared.(1977-80ish)
I aways wanted to be a Forest Ranger. The recruiter informed me there was a 18 month waiting list for individuals with an MS. The top pay was 18k, so I repaired the equipment instead for 25k...had a family to feed.

Yes, I believe in cause and effects.

Your question to whether I believe in anthropogenic global warming is yes, but I am skeptical about the future climate prediction and the catastrophic events that are predicted to happen due to AGW. I get a my information from John Christy and have read and listened to his opinion on the subject matter.

I am a ex logger with a degree in Electrical Engineering

PhD Physics, post-doc at Cambridge University, currently the chief scientist for a biotechnology company where I lead a multi-disciplinary research group that at various times includes physicists, chemists, engineers (chemical, electrical %26amp; mechanical) microbiologists and environmental biologists. My own areas of expertise include molecular spectroscopy, chemical physics, chemometrics and crystallography. I support the AGW theory.

MSc Biological Sciences, worked in chemical engineering (pharmaceutical manufacturing, acid plants, pollution prevention), biochemical engineering (immuno globulins, immobilisation of mammalian cell cultures, harvesting high value by products from genetically modified bacterial cultures), environmental protection, aerospace engineering (engine temperature management systems, laser temperature measurement of working turbine parts). Man made global warming is complete bollocks

Well talking about global warming, i am confused. If global warming is a genuine threat then i am harrowed with it. But if it is merely a propaganda from the Western world, then i am not scared with all this. myself

Yes, I believe in global warming. I have two bachelors degrees with classes in basic Chemistry and Biology, but my degrees are not scientific, unless you count a lot of math.

AA; But I have loved nature since birth, because I was raised in the most beautiful natural settings. Forest, sea, gardens, I also saw them get ruined by people, and that made me a passionate environmentalist.

i dont care about global warming. you guys do cuz im almost dead anyways

yes i haven%26#039;t took any big claases on it.

My first two years of college were directed toward microbiology and natural resource management. My last two years of college were directed toward hazardous materials. My degree is an Associate of Applied Science in Hazardous Materials. The classes involved in my education have been heavily science oriented, including science, biology, and chemistry, but also included classes on how hazardous materials impact environmental systems, human bodies, etc. Classes also OSHA regulations, EPA regulations, and DOT regulations in the United States related to hazardous materials and working with them safely.
