I think this survey reflects a “selection” process in the climate sciences over the past couple of decades.

One must believe in and do work that promulgates AGW in order to:

1) get published
2) get grant money $$
3) be a successfull academic (ie. get published and get $$)
4) be invited to join faculaty (where && and publishing are key)
5) be a successfull graduate student (ie. get && and be published)
6) find a grad student project (ie. one that has $$)
6) did I mention get $$ and get published.

So, my take is that the selection process heavily bias the climate science population and a large percentage are true believers as the survey indicates.

…just a thought.
