For the first time since the United States entered a deep recession five years ago, 70% of Americans now say they believe global warming is a reality, according to researchers.

In a report released Thursday by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication, authors wrote that America’s concern about global warming is now at its highest level since 2008, and that 58% of Americans expressed worries about it.

God gave us a fabulous self-regulating climate control system that we all learned about in the eighth grade. Carbon emissions and greenhouse gasses aren’t going to change that. Short of thermonuclear war, I don’t believe man has the ability to change the climate.

Consider:

* 2/3rds of the earth is covered by water.
* When water is heated, it evaporates into steam.
* Steam rises in the atmosphere until it reaches a level of cooling.
* When it cools, it forms clouds.
* When the clouds are sufficiently cool and heavy, rain falls.
* Rain returns to the earth as water to eventually return to the 2/3rds of the earth covered by water.

If the global temperature were to rise, it should produce more steam thus more clouds thus more rain and cooling. There’s nothing wrong with global temperatures varying by a few degrees. The system is in place to eventually return the earth to its normal state.

Pretty clever of God to design this, wasn’t it?

Tell a lie long enough and the serfs start believing it.

My careful research has identified a distinct global warming trend. This is primarily evident in the northern hemisphere from March through July, although it is offset and hidden if one considers the predominant cooling data collected from September through January. In any case, I can prove my predictions to over 90% of Freepers: just check the temperature tomorrow morning at sunrise and again tomorrow at 2:00 pm. I'd bet a paycheck that most of us will observe evidence of a substantial temperature increase over just a few hours.

If you want an expert opinion, just ask Al Gore. He's a Nobel Prize winner, and he will warn you that the earth's core could reach "several million degrees" if the warming trend that we ourselves observe each morning continues for just a few centuries.

Global temperatures have been declining for 2000 years when you don't use the fraudulent data used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Here is the problem. Over the last 10 years, most freshman entering Ivy League schools wrote about global warming for their essay.

I can believe it. The country is swirling around the toilet bowl. For example, my son and daughter are in their high school journalism class. Son is the editor-in-chief, and assigned two students to write editorials about the presidential campaign. He assigned the pro-Romney story to his sister.

Out of eighteen students, my kids and one leaner were the only ones willing to do it. In fact, one punk follows my daughter around and insults her for willing to write anything pro-Romney. If she didn’t have the poise and self-determination from eight years of private Christian school and a close-knit family, I’d want to thump the punk.

She just laughs about it. If it gets too bad, 6’-3” son can his ass from the paper.

I am learning... even at a slow pace... got other things to worry about in this world.

Can FR make a Reagan exception here ? please... it brings back thoughts of sanity and what America once was and can still be.

Americans have also made Honey Boo Boo a celebrity, for no discernible reason that I can see.
