This is amusing: a graph of various socio-economic groups and how far skewed they are from the "median".
This puts paid to the notion that scientists are in any way objective - even if the entire AGW spectacle wasn't enough.
Note: the more to the right, the more extreme. The AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science), a supposedly objective scientific organization, is as far skewed as evangelical church groups (think anti abortion) though not quite as far skewed as Fox news viewers, Mormons, or Tea Party members.
But more skewed than WSJ readers, CNN viewers, black church members, New York Times readers, etc etc.
This also gives a very interesting view on the MSM demographic divide.
