As much of North Carolina sits under a Winter Storm Watch for the threat of snow tomorrow, a new poll released today by Rasmussen Reports shows more and more Americans think global warming is caused more by long term planetary trends than by human activity.
According to its poll, 44% think it's planetary causes while 41% think it's human activity.
While these numbers are fairly close (and inside the margin of error) it does show a decided trend towards the public becoming more and more skeptical of the man-made global warming alarmist rhetoric of the left fringe.
In April of last year,
47% of Americans blamed human activity versus 34% who viewed long-term
planetary trends as the culprit. But the numbers have been moving in
the direction of planetary trends since then.
So in less than one year we've had a 16 point shift in public sentiment away from hysteria and towards common sense. A couple more years like this and maybe we can make Al Gore even more irrelevant.
So idiots like you have managed to fool people by deemphasizing science. Maybe that’s because an idiot like you has been in the white house controlling what the government says on this.
Poor anon. He calls names because he’s got no case. It’s he who doesn’t realize that he’s been bamboozled by a cadre of politicians at the UN in collusion with a bunch of moralists/green special interests into ruining an economy for the sake of centralizing power.
Anon, why don’t you read up on sunspot cycles and other natural climate dynamics and consider the possibility that you’ve been duped by elites that want your money. In other words, read the real science (not the IPCC, which is a political organization with an interest in its own survival.) You see, anon, the problem is that government can’t be trusted to produce such science, which you just assume. Too many outstretched palms to be credible and unbiased. Sorry.
I assume his mother didn’t name him anon. These comment lurkers are like unreflective gnats. Shoo. Take Al Gore with you.
Oh, and it’s funny that anon thinks the US population spent the last two years reading Bush Administration press releases on global warming. Please. Never mind that, if we had, we would be for mitigation policies, not against. Bush, if anything, has been tending towards the hysteria side, buckling under political pressure.
