America Gets the Global Warming Warning
Time - The Aggregator ^ | April 20, 2007

Posted on 04/20/2007 12:06:52 PM PDT by CedarDave

One third of Americans say global warming ranks as the world's single largest environmental problem according to a new survey conducted by the Washington Post, ABC News and Stanford University. That's double the number who considered it of most import last year.

Seven out of 10 of those surveyed want the federal government to do more to combat climate change and "by a 40-point margin, the public trusts congressional Democrats more than it trusts President Bush to handle global warming," writes the WPost.

Climate change might yet become a key election issue then. Al Gore, are you listening?

Goebbles was right about the “Big Lie”. Say it often enough and it will be believed as fact.

No surprise since the media has been trying to scare the wits out of everyone since the November elections. I'm surprised this number isn't higher, frankly - there are still a majority of sane individuals out there.

The liberal media has been feeling their oats since the November elections. They feel like they still have some power to propagandize the masses into falling for liberal claptrap like global warming, and they probably do.

I shudder to think of the boatload of stupid, annoying, and costly legislation we’re going to end up with due to this BS. And a hundred years from now, when we all KNOW it was BS, we’ll still be unable to repeal those laws.

Rush Limbaugh was just saying that not only are some schools in Florida forcing Algore’s movie down the throats of students, making it mandatory, but they are requiring the parents to attend and watch them movie, or their kids’ grades suffer.

In other words, repeat a lie often enough and it eventually people begin to believe it as fact.

Of course, when all most Americans hear are global warming alarmism from the press and how only the Congress can take action, what do you expect.

An interesting comment in the post was the link to Al Gore:

Two of the newsier things CNN says former president Bill Clinton tells Larry King tonight at 9 p.m. ET, during their prerecorded interview:

• The Democrats running for president "are gifted people and they deserve to be seriously listened to," and "you have got the prospect that vice president Gore might run.

This is BS, of course, as China, and maybe India, have long since passed us as polluters. There was even an article that admitted as much recently.

Rather than a pronouncement of the level of enlightenment of American citizens, this is an indication of their gullibility and stupidity.

How did the word "environmental" get in there? I thought global warming was the biggest problem of them all...bigger than terrorism, abortion, crime, etc.

Time needs to fire this blogger, pronto. He is obviously a "denier".

I'd be looking for a good lawyer if I lived in that school district. I would sue them for every penny that they have, and make sure those that came up with this policy are fired.

Yep. I would have had a lawyer talking to the school board before Al’s movie booted up on the A/V system.

Two-thirds of Americans believe there are bigger environmental problems than global warming.

That’s after nearly two years of wall-to-wall prophecies of rising sea-levels, dying species and an all-out apocalypse caused by... global warming.

Two-thirds of Americans believe we have bigger problems than the Leninists’ fake apocalypse.

Are you listening, Al Gore?
