PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup's annual update on Americans' attitudes toward the environment shows a public that over the last two years has become less worried about the threat of global warming, less convinced that its effects are already happening, and more likely to believe that scientists themselves are uncertain about its occurrence. In response to one key question, 48% of Americans now believe that the seriousness of global warming is generally exaggerated, up from 41% in 2009 and 31% in 1997, when Gallup first asked the question.
These results are based on the annual Gallup Social Series Environment poll, conducted March 4-7 of this year. The survey results show that the reversal in Americans' concerns about global warming that began last year has continued in 2010 -- in some cases reverting to the levels recorded when Gallup began tracking global warming measures more than a decade ago.
For example, the percentage of Americans who now say reports of global warming are generally exaggerated is by a significant margin the highest such reading in the 13-year history of asking the question. In 1997, 31% said global warming's effects had been exaggerated; last year, 41% said the same, and this year the number is 48%.

I don’t believe it’s exaggerated. I believe it’s totally concocted out of thin air... that it’s a complete and total scam with absolutely no basis in reality.

That graph looks like a hockey stick.

In this case that’s good!

Exclusive Hot Air interview: Inhofe on pork, global warming, and Gitmo
•Senate Democrats including John Kerry of Massachusetts have set aside House legislation that would limit greenhouse gas emissions from factories and other businesses nationwide. They are pursuing a new bill that may instead focus on utility companies, Kerry says.
Inhofe...has something to say on Kerry dreaming... along with Lindsay Graham....
See the Hotair interview linked above at post #29.
These clowns are looking like real crooks...
Crooks is putting it mildly!
See the updates and I just posted this opinion piece from a blog:
Big G panics--The higher-ups of the AGW movement, aka Goliath, sense that something is amiss.

The Bankers and the UN WANT the goodies.

You must be near Flagstaff.....
You got it in one. I’m in Flagstaff, Arizona. (Actually in an unincorporated county area nearby.) It’s been a hell of a winter and I hope we’re about done with it. The kids around here have had so many snow days, they’re growing up to be as ignorant as billygoats. :)

People are finally figuring out that there are more important things to worry about.
Lets face it. The majority of the world’s population have not been given even one percent of the input places like FR provide. So many are clueless. And many feel honest scientist have been studying these problems for their welfare.
