Survey Invitation
What, in your opinion, are the most likely impacts of global warming and climate change? How bad will things get, and how soon? What options might we have to prevent or at least mitigate the damages?
We want to know what YOU think!
CRN has created an online survey, ten questions long, that we hope you will take. It's titled "Climate Change Predictions." To access the survey, you'll need a password, which is CRN101 (case sensitive).
We'll report on the results at the end of this week.
All of the options dictate an increase in the temperatures, sea levels, etc. Shouldn't a decrease in both be available as an option? Sort of predetermines the outcome...I bet 100% of the radio buttons selected show that all of the survey takers believe in global warming and rising sea levels.
Let's flip a coin to see who wins. Heads I win and tails you lose...
Disappointing. I hope this isn't intended to be even remotely scientific and is "just for kicks."

I hope you did not pay money for that survey. What a piece of crap. You can't give the same answer for both 2050 and 2100! It was enormously frustrating to have to lie over and over again because the idiotic software design prevented me from saying what I believed. One of the worst experiences I have ever had online.

Hal, I'm sorry this was an unpleasant experience for you. To answer your point, we did not pay money for the survey; it was built with a free online program, which accounts for some of the limitations such as the glitch you and others have encountered. As we said before, we don't think that particular problem substantially negates the value of the current survey, but we will make sure it does not occur in any that we might prepare in the future.

Folks, I tried taking it, ran into similar issues, and cancelled part way through. *shrug* As such, I certainly DO think that the errors in the system invalidate the results.
