While this poll is encouraging, I am skeptical of the poll. Most people seem to have been indoctrinated.

[P-40]

staggering 71 percent

Staggering? Sounds like the author is throwing in some bias...or gets paid by the word.

[Ender Wiggin]

Could be the poll was FReeped?

[Matchett-PI]

Take the global warming test: http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/GlobWarmTest/start.html

And 65 percent think that scientists' catastrophic predictions if pollution isn't curbed are 'far fetched'.

BWAHAHAHA! "Far fetched" is probably cleaned up from what the 65 percent said originally.

[IC Ken]

Its actually very simple. There is only one thing powerful enough to heat the earth. The sun.

Hi, my name is Al Gore. I am here to say you all need me to explain to you how we are causing global climate change. I also want to ask why no one is taking me serially?

[BenLurkin]

"D'oh!"

Since no one has real proof as to what causes albore’s new buzzword “global warming”, it’s safe to assume that it’s a natural occurrence until someone comes out with 100% proof positive of what does cause it.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Yeah, but did they poll the folks on Mars?

[BuffaloJack]

Amazing. At 71% this means, to liberals, that the laws of nature have miraculously changed.

[Natty Bumppo@frontier.net]

This proves that three-quarters of the population are smarter than Al Gore.

Al Gore, leading the lowest quartile back to the 17th century!

[Publius6961]

Three Quarters Believe Global Warming A 'Natural Occurrence'

Most reassuring report I've read in weeks!
Three-quarters of American voters are sane...
Still... 1/4 neurotic and/or insane is scary.

[Pocket Issue]

Just for clarity this poll is on AOL.co.uk, on the ‘open to debate’ page using content from Pocket Issue, Global Warming (www.pocketissue.com). You can see the poll at http://lifestyle.aol.co.uk/go-green/global-warming-open-to-debate/article/20070514111009990010

It’s interesting how the story has twisted! Pocket Issue’s view is that we/govt should put resources into understanding the debate and the facts before / as well as putting resources into persuading the public to Go Green.
