Public sup****t for global warming, by some measures, is overwhelming. By
other measures, public sup****t more resembles lip-service. As, for
example, when the public is asked to put its money where it's mouth is.
In a public opinion poll last week of registered U.S. voters, only one
in six were willing to pay an extra 50 cents a gallon to stave off
global warming and almost half were unwilling to pay so much as a penny.
In a Wa****ngton Post-ABC poll last November,
Democratic voters were asked: What is the single most im****tant issue in
your choice for the Democratic candidate for president?
Top of the list was "Iraq/War in Iraq," the pick of 33% of responders.
"Health care" came second at 26%, followed by
"Economy/Jobs" at 10% and
"Ethics/Honesty/Corruption in government" at 5%.
Next came "Education" at 3%,
"Environment" at 2%,
"Foreign policy" at 2%,
"Immigration/Illegal immigration at 2%,
"Energy/Ethanol" at 1%,
Terrorism/National security" at 1%.
Also at 1% were "Abortion", "Morals/Family values," Federal budget
deficit" and "Social Security."
As for "Global warming," it came in with an "*", denoting less that one
half of one percent.

"...and I think future generations are not going to blame us for
anything except for being silly, for letting a few tenths of a degree
panic us"
Dr. Richard Lindzen, Professor of Meteorology MIT and Member of the
National Academy of Sciences
"What most commentators-and many scientists-seem to miss is that the
only thing we can say with certainly about climate is that it changes"
Dr. Richard Lindzen
[most of the current alarm over climate change is based on] "inherently
untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately
forecast the weather a week from now." Dr. Richard Lindzen
