#7  well, i live in a pretty conservative area of the country, and the local schools have been playing Al-Gore's movie 2x a year in science class to all kids starting in 6th grade. projects protraying the effects of AGW are required. my son was not allowed to enter a paper on the real science. the first and primary requirement of the assignment was that AGW is real and accepted as gospel fact. no alternative was allowed in the classroom. papers/projects that did not work from the premise of CO2 is destroying the planet were not accepted.

#5  So even though the temperature record says temps peaked in 1998 and have been dropping for the last 10 years, people are still susceptible to propaganda. Even though the 1930's were even hotter, leftist media propaganda takes it's toll.

What the ABC/WapO poll does not say is whether folks think humans cause it. But Rasmussen delves further (Nov 13):
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 47% of voters blame global warming on planetary trends, while 37% of voters take the opposite view and blame human activity. Just 5% point to some other reason.

Voters continue to believe the president holds the opposite view. Fifty percent (50%) say President Obama blames global warming on human activity, while only 20% think he blames planetary trends. But another 21% are not sure what the president believes.


So 1/3 of folks believe in MMGW but half of folks believe President Obama is even dumber than they are. Even the ABC/WaPo poll notices the rising skepticism.

98% of Americans do not want another Hiroshima.
96% of Americans do not want another Nagasaki.
92% of Americans want their children to marry Smurfs.

#3  I answered a "Poll" they wanted to know how much I "Loved" Mr goodbar candy, as the questions progressed and they found ididn't like theur candy, suddenly the "Poll" shut off, unfinished and incomplete, so o course it wasn't counted.

Moral, Don't believe what Polls tell you, make up your own mind.

#2  Usual lying crap MSM poll frontloaded with extra Quislingcrats. Follow the links back to the WaPo's actual data and you'll see the Clay-Footed Messiah with a 61% favorable / 39% unfavorable rating.
