It would be interesting to see what a Freeper poll would look like:

Global Warming is a Fiction invented by Uninformed Fearmongers.

Global Warming is Fiction supported by Scientific Whores supported by Government Grants.

Global Warming is a Theory that is supported by Bogus Science.

Not sure.

This means the Propaganda has been successful.

Man also once believed the world to be flat and that the sun went round the earth.

Most people in Germany in the late 1930s believed Hitler was just an alright guy too. Just goes to show, that popular opinion does not equate to fact.

In fact, in both cases, it can more easily be related to this phenomena:

This just proves that the union degradation of schools has worked. People believe what they read or hear in the MSM. We just have to remember that the MSM targets their coverage to people with the average education of a thirteen year old.

"A majority of adults in Canada, the United States and Britain....."

WRONG! It's "A majority of adults who were polled and asked loaded questions."

So when a majority of the people in the world believed the earth was flat, did that make it a fact?

Why is this not a push poll? Well crafted, but a push poll nonetheless.

No real opposing viewpoint has been offered except "not sure".

Methodology: Online interviews with 1,012 Canadian adults, 1,005 American adults, and 798 British adults, conducted from Jul. 23 to Jul. 28, 2009. Margins of error range from 3.1 per cent to 3.5 per cent.


Would have thought there would be a few more interviewed.

I’m shocked — I didn’t think 20% of Americans would be this intelligent.

Majority agrees; Winters are too cold, summers are too hot. Government should do something about this.

Yeah, sure.

Since my son started working on his phd in marine biology and surrounded himself with liberal scientists he has bought into the global warming hype. He tells me that he is looking at the raw data nearly every day and talking to climate scientists and it is really worse then what makes it into the media. He keeps going on about feedback loops and how the numbers are coming in worse than predicted and stuff that was predicted to happen in a centuries will now probably happen in decades. He said he used to think people of my generation would have the luxury of dying off before the worst happens and they have to face the guilt of what they left their children and grandchildren but now he is not so sure. I thought that was a very hurtful thing to say and we got in a fight and havent really talked since. I emailed him some research I downloaded from the net showing that many scientist doubt global warming and he just sent back an article detailing how several of them were paid by the oil companies and previously were paid by the tobacco companies to claim smoking had no link to cancer. No personal note just the article. Its bad enough I cant talk to my daughter because of this whole health care mess but now I cant talk to my son either. It really is a different world than it used to be.
