The Quiz is at best outdated, at worst a deliberate attempt to mislead using obsolete and wrong research.

The quiz cites Lassen's work from 91 to argue global warming is due to astronomical causes, not any work of men. However that works has been shown to be false. In fact when Lassen and Thejll updated Lassen's 91 research, they found the correlation stops at around 1980.

This quiz has all the hall marks one comes to expect from detractors of science: using outdated research to cloud the issue. They exploit the fact science is a field which moves quickly and publishes prolifically - for just about any particular belief, if you go back in time far enough, cast your net wide enough, you will find a paper to support your claims. All you need to do is ignore the fact the paper is outdated and more often than not, shown to be wrong.
