Pollution, conservation bigger worries than climate

It looks like Al Gore is going to need every cent of the $300m war chest he's amassed for climate persuasion. Americans polled by Gallup for 'Earth Day' value "traditional", bottom-up environmental issues such as pollution and conservation as being more worrying than Global Warming. Remarkably, the level of concern about greenhouse gas emissions has barely wavered in a generation. Recklessness, or Huck Finn-style American common sense?

A third of Americans think "Global Warming" is a serious concern - a figure that's effectively unchanged since 1990, when the question was first asked. Ominously for the climate doom-mongers, it ranks 10th on a list of 12 environmental issues. OK, so what are Americans worried about?

Great. Despite more than a decade of intense brainwashing effort, the public just wants the guru Al Gore and his fanatic cult following to shut the hell up!

Let them blow the money and watch them squrm when the cooling continues.

:smirky:

The Northern Hemisphere warmed up sharply last month.But maybe not for long.

The Tropic is still cooling and so is the Southern Hemisphere.

The fact that the tropics is still cooling.Bodes for a cooler north later because less heat than usual will be transported there.The tropics are the major source of heat for transport to the north and south.

Earth Day is celebrated on *edit* Vladimir Lenin's*/edit* birthday for a reason, ya know...global warming is as much a hoax today as global cooling was in the 1970s.

Environmental policies put into effect by the spineless twits, who we call "Congressmen", will cause the demise of this country without a shot being fired at us by our enemies. We will be at the mercy of Russia, China, Iran, and N. Korea within 20 years if these bozos in DC don't grow a pair...or better yet, if the intellectually challenged voters who PUT them there don't get a clue, and I mean farkin' quick.

Global warming has been dead for a while now. Since there was such record cold and snowfall, global warming is now climate change. It explains both the warming in the summer and the cooling in the winter.

And yet it's picking up political speed. Just another day at the office in Washington. There's power and money in it, so it doesn't matter a wink whether it's true or not.

Global warming may be "dead," but like a Chicago Democrat, that fact doesn't stop it from influencing public policy.

It is increasingly bizarre that seasonal change is now so dangerous.
