Re: July 11, 2013 Question of the Week: Do you think human beings Are causing global warming?

This is a prime example of how a question can be worded in order to acquire the preferred answer. I wonder if this trick is from your many years of journalism or something you picked from the environmental movement.

Would the answers be the same if the question were, “Do you think human beings are the MAJOR cause of global warming?” or, “Are human beings the ONLY cause of global warming?”
