Her er en liten tankevekker for de som løper rundt å skriker at skeptikere er flat-jord tilhengere:

QuoteIn the mainstream media, skeptics are called Flat-Earthers, Deniers, and ideologues who deny basic physics. So it's no surprise that they are exactly the opposite. A recent survey of 5,286 readers of leading skeptical blogs (eg here, WattsUp) shows that the people driving the skeptical debate are predominantly engineers and hard scientists with backgrounds like maths, physics and chemistry. Which group in the population are least likely to deny basic physics?  Skeptics.

A recent survey of those participating in on-line forums showed that most of the 5,000 respondents were experienced engineers, scientists and IT professionals most degree qualified and around a third with post graduate qualifications. The survey, carried out by the Scottish Climate and Energy Forum, asked respondents for their views on CO2 and the effect it might have on global temperatures. The results were surprising. 96% of respondents said that atmospheric CO2 levels are increasing with 79% attributing the increase to man-made sources. 81% agreed that global temperatures had increased over the 20th century and 81% also agreed that CO2 is a warming gas. But only 2% believed that increases in CO2 would cause catastrophic global warming.

Men vi har har jo alltids slike som samfunnsøkonom Marius Holm og snart ferdig uttdannet psykolog Mr. John Cook til å forklare oss hvordan fysikk virker. Altså den nye fysikken der hemmelige modeller på PC'er er "beviser"og ikke kjedelige utendørs observasjoner slik som i gamle dager...

Her er forresten noen flere "flat-jord" tilhengere:
