Al Gore is not a climate scientist although, as a concerned citizen, he has attempted to take on board the concerns of the overwhelming majority of climate scientists. The film, An Inconvenient Truth, contains fact and exaggeration, so it can not be considered qualitative in the usual sense of the word.
British High Court judge, Justice Burton, said the film contains nine statements not supported by mainstream scientific consensus, although he had no complaint about Gore's central thesis that climate change was happening and was being driven by emissions from humans.
We can follow Justice Burton in accepting that climate change is happening and is being driven by emissions from humans, while regarding the film as intended for public entertainment and education, rather than academic rigour.

What is the difference between quantitive and qualitive?
quantitative refers to "quantity" and can be quantified or measured. while qualitative referes to "quality" and cannot be quanitifed. When u say X product "passes" a test that is qualitative data, while when u say the amount of X present is "10mg/ml" that is quantitative data.
What is the different between quantitative and qualitative measures?
If I had a 25% solution of sodium chloride and I did a quantitative measurement, the interest would be in HOW MUCH was present. In this case it would be 25%. If I did a qualitative measurement, all we would be interested in is - WHAT IS PRESENT. In this case sodium chloride and water. In simple terms, qualitative is "What is present" and quantitative is "How much is present"
What was used before the Barometer?
Before the barometer, weather forecasting was often done using qualitative observations such as cloud formations, wind direction, and changes in air pressure sensed by the body. These qualitative methods proved to be unreliable and inconsistent. The invention of the barometer in the 17th century revolutionized weather forecasting by providing a quantitative measure of air pressure.

Classification of research?
Research is classified based on purpose and by method. A research can be done for the purpose of either developing a theory or making a decision. It can be done by historical or correlational research.
Define qualitative research?

Quantitative research is more important than qualitative research because it results in statistical information and conclusive findings?
Qualitative versus Quantitative has been always fiercely debated in the academic field. It is really what you as the researcher think it is important. There is no right or wrong answer. Until I have taken a qualitative research class at USF I thought that quantitative research is more "scientific" than qualitative research. I thought that qualitative research should be should be done before quantitative research. Well, nothing is sure in this world, and we don't even agree in the notion of objectivity. Since I came to USF I learned to question everything, which I guess it was a good lesson. I was pleasantly surprised by John W. Creswell's book about qualitative research. He also says that qualitative research allows the researcher to study deeply a problem and go beyond the numbers. I started to like qualitative research because it is more flexible, interactive, the research design can be modified and it involves fieldwork (patients should be interviewed in their natural setting). Therefore, a qualitative research can provide a more complex answer to certain problems such as minority and race. For example, can racism be easily answered? No, it calls for a qualitative study because it may involve economical, political, and cultural and gender related problems. I guess journalists mainly use qualitative research if they write a longer and deeper article about topics like race, unemployment, etc. I realize that numbers do not mean always the "whole" picture. I would use qualitative research methods if I want to do a deeper research, if I want to gain a deeper understanding of a problem using multiple views.
Do Business proposal use quantitative or qualitative research methods?
Business proposals should be done using both quant/qual. The qualitative should be done first to give you and idea about potential solutions to the problem you're trying to solve or the opportunity you're addressing. This data will not be of a statistically significant nature, and should not be taken as representative of the population. Based on the outcomes of the qualitative, you can then conduct quantitative to "prove" the resulting hypothesis (es). Based on the results of the quantitative, you then have a foundation on which to build the rest of your biz prop, ie: projections, financials, etc.
When should research be done?
Research should be done whenever information is needed.
Why most research done in house?

Is research done only to solve problems?
Not at all. Research is done purely to learn more.
What is the difference between quantitive and qualitive?
quantitative refers to "quantity" and can be quantified or measured. while qualitative referes to "quality" and cannot be quanitifed. When u say X product "passes" a test that is qualitative data, while when u say the amount of X present is "10mg/ml" that is quantitative data.
What qualitative test should be done to test the presence of Vitamin A?
A blood test needs to be done to test for the presence of Vitamin A. If you have a Vitamin A deficiency, you may be anemic.
Is the temperature outside 250 degrees is quantitative or qualitative?
Temperature is just a quantitative measure. It can be done in different units such as centigrade, Fahrenheit , kelvin etc. Quality can be associated with heat( not often done). Heat is called low grade energy because it cannot be completely converted into work.
