The Register are very biased concerning climate change. For example, take http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/29/science_and_maths_knowledge_makes_you_sceptical/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/29/science_and_maths_kn... and compare and contrast it with the original paper at http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate1547.html http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nc.... Things you might notice include the absence of any horrible backfire; that they didn't just find a slight decrease in perceived risk over climate change with increasing scientific literacy, but also a polarisation of opinions between the left and the right, where increased in scientific literacy strengthens one's beliefs about climate change whatever they are (see also: the title of the paper); and the way the quotes used by The Register don't say what the author wants them to. This isn't just a case of differing opinions over complicated ideas, this is blatantly dishonest twisting of words. (For even worse reporting, The Telegraph picked up The Register's article and made it even worse: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100161868/official-the-more-scientifically-illiterate-you-are-the-more-you-believe-in-climate-change/. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100161868/...) I don't yet have anything in particular to say about the present article, but being by The Register doesn't inspire confidence in me...
