What good news this is...I've seen and heard some of these polls during the last ten days or so...

Somebody may want to clue the congress-critters about this...

Cap and Trade is the agenda...lord I hope it fails.

I want algore and his ilk to quit making $$$ off of us.

Btw..of course people aren't concerned about so-called global warming, we live in the real world, we are just beginning to thaw out from a long record breaking winter...again.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

when he chooses not to engage in one. However, thank O'bama's economy to take the focus in a different direction.

Global warming CAUSED the poll to be flawed (thawed?).  The pollsters were clearly suffering from a state of heat exhaustion thereby clouding their cognitive poll interpretation skills.  Like, duh.  Geez, you guys just don't get global warming, do you?  It is totally everywhere dude!

Gore took a prize that should have gone to an elderly woman who saved numerous children from the Nazis and for that those selecting him the winner and he for accepting it are nothing short of repulsive IMHO.   

Even hard core liberals are telling me they'd like a minute or two with Mr. Gore to tell him a little bit (or more) about the "global warming" they experienced this past winter.   I suppose Gore likes the term "green" better since it will represent the profit $$$ in his "investments."

"It's Al Gore's greatest frustration."

That would be all you can eat pizza buffets that run out of pepperoni.

Obama:  "The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers." -Ed Mahmoud

The public is just not that concerned. 

We peasants are but ignorant deniers. The elite class, who know far more, must force us to do what is right - for our own good.

Did I get that right?

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

The public indifference to Global Warming and all its attendant threats and scare stories has more to do with what they see from the people who are doing that promote all the hysteria in the first place. Take Al Gore for example, promoting the idea that man's excesses have caused catastrophic changes in the earth's atmosphere and climate to the extent that we all must become stewards of our planet and cut back on energy consumption, take steps to reduce greenhouse gases, reduce our "carbon footprint".  And then you look at the lifestyle Al Gore leads, with his 3 mansions, his private jet trips, living comfortably off his Oxi oil stocks.  Maybe it's time for Gore to finally begin practising what he preaches  And of course, Hollywood celebrities who essentially parrot every word Gore preaches about Global Warming are even worse examples of hypocrisy with their excessive jetsetting lifestyles, mansions, limos,  sportscars,  wardrobes, etc.  It's a complete joke to listen to these people with their sanctimonious lectures about why the rest of us have to sacrifice to the extreme and then they fly off to France in a private jet to party or stay in their  chateau for a week or three.  Until the  GW adherents begin adjusting their own excessive lifestyles to conform to the demands and sacrifices they expect everyone else to make, the  public will remain  unconvinced and indifferent.

ESB

Al missed class on the day they studied that all green plants produce CO2 in the absence of sunlight.

Algore has already won the debate.  It wasn't so much his concern for the environment as it was to get wealthy by the alarmism.  From the stats I have seen he has succeeded admirably in that extreme.

It was on The Drudge Report on Sunday. 

Will we have more deception using language? Domino Sugar touts its product as Carbon Neutral! Sugar is a CARBOhydrate, isn't it? No answer to the question posed to the company's scientists if they took into account the massive fires used in harvesting sugar cane.

Or a few awakenings like the democrats that today realized their constituents will murder them if the old electric bill rises $1-200 a month because of Obama's Cap and Trade lunacy? The EPA today realized the total environmental costs of Ethanol gasoline has a worse climate change effect that straight gasoline!

It must be a national day of mourning for Al Gore. His two biggest heroes, James Hansen and Joe Romm, are having an argument.

I didn't realize that he was a D student at Harvard in Natural Sciences.  Not it all makes sense. Instead of learning about science,  he just invented his own version of it so that he'd be right all the time. No wonder he wont debate it, he's making it up as he goes and nobody else could possibly know what he'll come up with next!!!!

"if you look at the data, carbon dioxide doesn't show up as a cause of global warming" 

Absolutely.  Informed people have known for a long time that CO2 is not a driver of climate change- there is too much information (h/t upcountrywater) out there refuting that notion.  Yet there seems to be a crescendo of propaganda pushing that point of view, especially among the gullible younger set.  But, there is political hay to be made, as well as big bucks, by pushing the man made global warming due to CO2 agenda.  For a really cool, graphic demonstration of why it is utter lunacy to think that man has even the remotest influence on the fate of the earth, check out this link and scroll only to the first picture, then wait- it will slowly change.  Picture the size of man in relation to the earth before you bring it up.

On the other hand, in the real science world, where "when a hypothesis is false, new experiments and observations will tend to quarrel with it, but with a good theory the reverse is true.  It looks better and better as the facts become more exactly known", the work of Henrik Svensmark is looking better and better as more facts are collected.  Just this paragraph alone, from "The Chilling Stars" by Henrik Svensmark and Nigel Calder, is enough to warm the heart of any true global warming denier:

"...when, in 1996, a Danish newspaper invited the [IPCC] panel's chairman Bert Bolin to comment on Svensmark's results on cosmic rays and clouds, as announced by Friis-Chistensen at the Birmingham meeting, he was scathing:  'I find the move from this pair scientifically extremely naive and irresponsible.'"

At a meeing of colleagues later that year, it was suggested that Svensmark's work was "dangerous"!  Suggesting that low solar activity allowed increased cosmic rays to reach earth, thereby increasing low level cloud cover. By the increased reflectivity of that low level cloud cover, global cooling would ensue.  This was somehow "dangerous".  This man's work has not gotten the recognition it deserves, because, unfortunately, in the MSM, the debate is over, because Gore says it is.  Fortunately, it is becoming more widely known, and as things cool off during this cycle, it will hopefully get more of the recognition it deserves.

Here are just a few links to information on Svensmark and his work, besides the above mentioned book:

Cosmic Ray Flux and Neutron monitors suggest we may not have hit solar minimum yet

Correlation demonstrated between cosmic rays and temperature of the stratosphere

State of the Sun for year end 2008: all’s quiet on the solar front - too quiet

Cosmoclimatology:  a new theory emerges

It is so frustrating for all of us to know that this "CO2 is driving climate change" stuff is bogus and is only being driven by power hungry politicians the worl over, feeding off the media generated mass hysteria.  But we slog on.

"The future is not set.  There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."
