WASHINGTON (AFP) – The number of Americans who believe that climate change is real has declined in the last year, but a majority do see convincing evidence of global warming, according to a new poll.
The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found 57 percent of Americans see "solid evidence of warming," compared to 71 percent in April 2008, and 77 percent in August 2007.
The poll, which surveyed 1,500 people between September 30 and October 4, also found a decline in the number of Americans who think global warming is a very serious problem.
Just 35 percent describe the issue that way today, compared to 44 percent in April 2008 and 45 percent in 2007.
Since 2008, the proportion of Americans who describe global warming as the result of human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, has also sharply dropped from 47 percent to 36 percent, the survey found.
The increase in the number of Americans with doubts about climate change came across the political spectrum, though it was particularly pronounced among independents.

Good one, Thanks!
Innocence lost.. the media had a real live one there for awhile.
That “man made” on the cartoon is the key point in this. Climate is dynamic not static. They can include me in the people that think there is climate “change”. Is it man made,no. The climate has been changing since creation and always will. Man can’t do anything about it.Hoax explains it all. Good one.

The “change” is real enough, it’s getting COLDER. Last time anybody went two years without seeing sunspots was the Maunder Minimum at the peak of the little ice age.
It is.
It was nice here in the beginning of the week, got better as it went on, then precipitously cooled and ran us into a nice clean rain for the past day and a half.
