Edit (11/5/2016): Survey is finished! Feel free to discuss and keep voting. I might start keeping tally in the

I'm conducting a survey for a school assignment and I wanted to invite everyone to participate in it! It would be extremely helpful if everyone took the time to fill it out. My goal is to get at least 30 responses. The less friendly and more academic tone begins after the line break. I wanted to include this because just posting the survey on it's own would make me appear too much like a robot.

Edit (11/3/2016): I won't change any of the questions now that I have posted the survey to avoid causing confusion. Please feel free to discuss the survey itself, as well as the issues related, or the choices you made. I ask that you please vote before you discuss.



I am conducting an independent survey of individuals on Bay12 Forums. The goal of the survey is to obtain data regarding popular opinion on global warming. Some of these individuals are more anonymous than others, therefore demographic will not be recorded, and all results will be considered to have been given by completely anonymous individuals.

Bay12 Forums is a message board created by the developers of the video game Dwarf Fortress that hosts discussions about the game and other topics. The majority, but not all, of the individuals surveyed can therefore be assumed to be gamers. Gamers occupy a wide range of ages, from pre-teens to advanced middle age, and the demographic is divided roughly in half with regard to gender (http://essentialfacts.theesa.com/).

Voting sheet (your vote will not be considered if you do not answer all the questions or use the following format):
Code: [Select]
[color=cyan]
1: [option]
2: [option]
3: [option]
4: [option]
5: [option]
[/color]

I'm fairly sure that the Bay12 population isn't split evenly between male and female... but I could be wrong.

I recall that there was a B12 demographic survey and that it showed that the forums were predominantly male (like 70 or 80%?), but I was referring to the general gamer population according to the ESA. If I can find it and the data is still available, I would love to cite it for the survey.

However, B12 afaik is VERY left-wing.
So these results will almost certainly be skewed. But 'tis nice.

For each of the following questions, please choose only one option:
I know some of the questions aren't the best, but if I change them I'd have to make another thread to redo the survey.

Speaking of bad choices, cyan probably wasn't the best color for non-Darkling users.

And yeah, B12 does skew left (which should be completely unsurprising considering LCS's creator). Even beyond that, it seems to skew pretty heavily towards an enthusiasm for science and, well. Consensus is broad and very existent.
