The poll was conducted by AP, NORC Center for Public Affairs Research (University of Chicago) and Yale University. No need to ask if the poll is brain dead.

Surprised? Nope.

I did notice that Faux News won’t credit any AP reporters by name; in this case, it’s Dina Cappiello. And FWIW, the AP Big Story page for this article is accepting Disqus comments for now.

I also find it funny that sample polling by Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (GfK) could ever be designed to be “representative of the US population” in any capacity.

I back carbon limits for China.During my several visits there (a couple having occurred in the last couple of years) I can report that the air there,even on the clearest day you’ll see,is so disgustingly dirty as to be absolutely inexcusable.The best day I’ve seen there has been far,*far* worse than the worst day I’ve ever seen in LA,NYC,London,Germany or Japan.

This is the official word from the EPA:

The historical record shows that the climate system varies naturally over a wide range of time scales. In general, climate changes prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s can be explained by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations.

[ NRC (2010). Advancing the Science of Climate Change . National Research Council. The National Academies Press, Washington, DC, USA.]

Recent climate changes, however, cannot be explained by natural causes alone. Research indicates that natural causes are very unlikely to explain most observed warming, especially warming since the mid-20th century. Rather, human activities can very likely explain most of that warming.

Do you see the words in bold? This means they do not have any proof. If there was definite evidence humans are causing climate change the "scientists" would use definitive words. Indications and likelihoods are not facts.

Does one say "It is likely the sky is blue."? No. We can see the sky is blue and use definite speech to declare it.

Does one say, "My studies indicate when I add 4 cups of sugar to a quart of water it will taste very sweet."?

No again, because we have clear evidence adding sugar to water makes the water sweet. We do not use "indicate" or "suggest" or "it is likely" when the facts are clear.

Do not be fooled by the global warming buffoons. I am certain there is a long term goal in mind, most certainly the result being a loss of freedom, a loss of constitutional rights such as: "You exhaled the pollutant carbon when you used that speech, so to avoid pollution you must not use that type of speech anymore."

I know that sounds utterly stupid but that is the kind of stupidity coming from the liberals these days.

Something stupid and hateful towards our freedom is on the way if we do not stop the AGW garbage soon, mark my words.

I could be wrong,but I believe there is much evidence to show that the largest “climate changes” occurred before the Industrial Revolution.
