AGW Today: Global Warming Is Being Exaggerated
Bad news, Climahypocrites
Although a majority of Americans believe the seriousness of global warming is either correctly portrayed in the news or underestimated, a record-high 41% now say it is exaggerated. This represents the highest level of public skepticism about mainstream reporting on global warming seen in more than a decade of Gallup polling on the subject.
The number who believe global warming, and, of course, what they mean is AGW, is down to 57% for those who believe it is correctly portrayed or underestimated. I would have liked to see a question
As recently as 2006, significantly more Americans thought the news underestimated the seriousness of global warming than said it exaggerated it, 38% vs. 30%. Now, according to Gallup’s 2009 Environment survey, more Americans say the problem is exaggerated rather than underestimated, 41% vs. 28%.
The big problem with all the polls is that it does not separate anthropogenic global warming from natural global warming. I believe in natural. I believe Man probably has a small part in the warming trend. But, I do not drink the kool-aid that it is mostly or all Mankind’s fault. Interestingly, those who do believe in it being Man’s fault rarely change their behavior to match their rhetoric.
Looks like it is primarily Democrats who are drinking the kool-aid. Also, people under 30, who have been indoctrinated with scary movies and rhetoric, are the main group that believe that the news has not been exaggerated.
Concern for 7 other environmental issues beats out AGW, as well. That pleases me, and, I would like to see true environmental concerns divorced from the AGW issue, which, again, is mostly about control, rather then science. Global warming happened. It is in decline at the moment, but, I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes back in the near future, then, hundreds of years from now, the world-wide climate will switch, much as it did when the Earth went from the Global Climate Optimum to the Little Ice Age.

Funny, I don’t need pay fat Al to tell me to use a longer lasting light bulb.
Did he invent these bulbs?
Sorry if I am so ungrateful.
Someone should tell the UN and ALGORE what Honest Abe said years ago.
You can fool some of the people some of the time
and some of the people all of the time,
but you can never fool all of the people all of the time.
Tha jig is up guys. It is getting colder!!
You don’t need to dring the koolaid. You admit there is natural warming, and you being part of nature, also contribute to warming.
If warming kills the crops, why would you need to drink koolaid to stop contributing to your own demise?
Maybe you just are like the denialists who said Katrina won’t be that bad and ignored the science behind levies and water containment.
Should we build up the levies now or is that koolaid too?
