The Associated Press and ABC report on a new poll by the Pew Research Center.
Poll Shows Giant Gap Between What Public, Scientists Think:
From the Article:
Scientists are far less worried about genetically modified food, pesticide use, and nuclear power than is the general public, according to matching polls of both the general public and the country's largest general science organization. Scientists were more certain that global warming is caused by man, evolution is real, overpopulation is a danger and mandatory vaccination against childhood diseases is needed.
These tend to all be topics of interest here on Soylent. Also interesting is that the opinions of the scientists don't appear to follow policital lines.
The gaps didn't correlate to any liberal-conservative split; the scientists at times take more traditionally conservative views and at times more liberal.
