Americans Are Becoming More Skeptical of Global Warming

The scandals around the claims of man-made global warming have reshaped the thinking of many Americans; AGW now seems to stand for "Al Gore Warming" and not the scientific term "Anthropogenic Global Warming". The majority of Americans now are skeptical or outright don't believe that man-made global warming is real and that even a short period (perhaps 10 to 20 years) of natural (not man-made) global warming has passed or is near its cycle end.
While most Americans cannot follow the detailed technical arguments of the climatologists, they can smell a hoax when some facts are brought out and they can see Al Gore and others as simply profiteers who have created a huge scam for personal gain (something like the Bernie Mad off of climate).A recent Gallup poll showed that Americans rank global warming dead last among eight environmental issues to be very worried about . The following are eight environmental issues and the percentage of people who said they are very worried are:
Pollution of drinking water, 50 percent
Pollution of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, 46 percent
Maintenance of the nation’s supply of fresh water for household needs, 45 percent
Contamination of soil and water by toxic waste, 44 percent
Air pollution, 38 percent
Loss of tropical rain forests, 33 percent
Extinction of plant and animal species, 31 percent
Global warming, 28 percent
WORRY ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING PEAKED IN 2007 AT 41 PERCENT AND WAS AT 40 PERCENT IN 2000.
This turn of opinion of the American public may not deter Obama and his cohorts from trying to jam through a Cap and Trade bill, or at least some aspects of such a bill, in order first, to appease the environmental extremists who supported Obama and second, to financially benefit political allies like Al Gore and the General Electric Company at the expense of the taxpayer.
