Only 25 Percent See Global Warming Threat ABC poll finds few Americans see climate change as environment's biggest threat, more trust business than government to address problems.

By Nathan Burchfiel Business & Media Institute 8/11/2008 1:14:36 PM

In spite of the media’s obsession with global warming, only 25 percent of Americans view climate change as the world’s biggest environmental threat, according to a new ABC News poll. Fewer than half – 47 percent – viewed global warming as “extremely” or “very” important to them.

Those numbers and others from the poll don’t fit the common media theme that there is a scientific “consensus” on global warming: that it is caused by humans and will have catastrophic consequences.

Those poll numbers gave way to more media spin in an ABC “World News Saturday” report August 9.

“After years of debate over the reality of global warming, 80 percent of those polled now say they accept it as fact,” anchor Bill Weir reported. “Seventy-three percent say it is a threat to today’s children and 63 percent believe people and industry are to blame.”

Kiss an honest Science Teacher today! I thought all was lost, and that we are a nation of morons. It appears I was wrong.

Among the 25%, surely:

Yes, the earth is warming ever so slightly as it has been for thousands of years.

Yes, it is a threat to today's children because government is overreacting and turning it into a crisis where no crisis exists. By reacting in this manner everyone is in jeopardy of losing their freedoms and decreasing their standard of living.

Government and the environmental lobby are causing the threat so I would have to agree that people are to blame. However, I totally disagree that people are causing the climate to change in any significant way.

“Yes, the earth is warming ever so slightly”

Except that it’s been coolong for at least the last 10 years.

Actaully, there is a wealth of evidence out there that the natural process of global warming is a good thing. For starters, record tuna catches are being reported as far south as Australia due to the churning of warming oceans which stimulates growth and access to the sea life which the tuna feed upon.

Lobsters in New England are getting so plentiful that the price of them in Boston by Thanksgiving may not be all that different from the price of turkey.

Polar bear are growing so plentiful that even the eco-obsessed Canadians asked America to not list them as endangered.

All of these are stories from reliable news sources which have been out there in the last six months, but conspiciously absent from the MSM.

I wish it was warming right now. This summer feels like it’s already over.

Maybe in the future the dogma of St. Algore will be followed only by a few cultists living in compounds.

[SAJ]

By preference, only compounds with double barbed-wire fences.

I have been amazed for decades how liberal, used colostomy bags can actually think humans are “stronger” than God (or dare I say it, “Nature”).

[keepitreal]

But, but, but CNN said last night that 70% of all evangelical Christians think global warming is one of the biggest problems in the world. How can this be???

[LowTaxesEqualProsperity]

Global warming is a liberal hoax using false science to convince the easily-duped that they need the government to “save” them from themselves.

"Journalists", I have a suspicion, avoid Science courses. Just a guess..hahaha.

Feelings and belief systems trump facts. Look, for example, at the absurd candidates they have pushed.

"Duh. Another JFK from Massachusetts will fool peeple inta voting for 'JFK' all over again".

Duh. Know wut? Why don't we take a nobody with no history or background, and make peeple vote for him, Huh? If they don't they are < fnord> *RACISTS*, see!"

"Sure. Remember that peanut farmer? Hahahahahah! We showed our power then, Huh?"

"Duh....and (Hahaha) remember that @sshole from Massachusetts who would have had it if it weren't for that tank picture!"

Hahahaha Yah...but don't fuhget are best one..the Dixie Mafia Guy! The suckers voted for him (Hahahahha) TWICE after we gave that Texas @sshole all the free airtime and split the vote!!! Boy, we sure could use another one of those, huh?"

Duh..Maybe we gut one now!
