Poll: Fewer believe in global warming

Even as major climate change legislation moves through Congress, fewer voters believe global warming is a very serious problem -- or even think there is solid evidence of it -- a new Pew Research survey finds. And action on the environment has slipped even further down voters' lists of policy priorities for the president, although a majority would not oppose regulations limiting carbon emissions.

According to the poll, 35% of respondents said global warming was a serious problem, down from 44% in April 2008. Even starker is the increase in voters' skepticism: Only 57% said they believe there is solid evidence that earth's average temperature has increased over the past few decades, compared with 71% who said that last year -- a 14-point drop. Also, just 36% said increases in global temperatures are the result of human activity, which was down from 47% last year.

Along political lines, global warming was the lowest-rated priority for both independents and Republicans, and was 16th among Democrats out of 20 issues.

Maybe if the climate change zealots stopped running around screaming "the sky is falling" people wouldn't treat them like chicken little.

phil, NIMBY people are, for the most part, detrimental to city growth, and growth in general. no, i dont want a nuclear power plant in my back yard either, but if someone asked if they could put up a windmill in my yard, and it didnt kill my yard, or house, or anything, id say, sure, go ahead. and you know what? youd get some nice pocket change in the exchange as well.

Kevin Williams of the Rochester news stated that if you were to stretch out the weather timeline over the course of a mile, we have researched and documented ONE INCH of that. Global Warming is a myth and I dont believe its true, oh and btw, America is the only country that cares about Global Warming, most of the pollution is coming from Russia, and India. Do you honestly think they care? No Not in the least. and its just a bunch of crap that american politics use for to scare people. It is also an incredible waste of money by our government to put so much research and money into determining how to prevent it, when they have no viable proof that it exists.

Then that would make you less of a douchbag than Ted Kennedy was....

He fought a wind farm that was going to be 8 miles off shore from his house.
Rot in hell Ted you elitist, entitled bastard.

Well you certainly are one uninformed kiddo, now aren't you? Ever heard of the Kyoto Treaty (named for Kyoto, JAPAN)? The treaty that applies to the Kyoto Protocol (again, Kyoto, JAPAN), which EVERY MAJOR COUNTRY BUT AMERICA has either signed and ratified or plans to sign and ratify.

Go back to grazing, little sheeple. Or do some research. I'm not saying anything either way, but you're just being ignorant.

Ignorant? Excuse me? Lets not get critical here... it is NO LIE that Russia and India are major if not the two most contributurs to polution. I may be wrong about America being the only one giving a crap, but if you have proof that Global Warming exists then please share otherwise I dont think we should waste money trying to stop something we have no real evidence that exists. Please dont call me ignorant when I am no such thing. I have my beliefs but I do admit that me saying America is the only one doing something is wrong, I should have looked that up, but that was my understanding, because I never read anything about other countries trying to do something to stop it.

Textbook definition of ignorance, boyo.

and another thread comes to obama hate..... and more fabrications.
