Belief in Global Warming Down Like Temps

Last week, the Pew Research Center released a poll showing that belief in, and concern for, climate change is evaporating. Belief in global warming has dropped from 71 percent in April to 57 percent; only 36 percent believe man is mostly responsible for climate change. Only 35 percent of respondents said it’s a "very serious problem," down from 41 percent.

This is after more than a decade of near-relentless fearmongering — er, sorry, "education" — from Al Gore, academia and Hollywood. They can’t persuade the American people to spend trillions for less than a degree Celsius of cooling a century from now.

No doubt the fact that neither climate models nor doomsday predictions have panned out, is part of it. There has been no increase in global temperatures since 1998.
