Not that popular opinion changes the minds of do-gooder politicians and power-grabbing bureaucrats (or is that power-grabbing politicians and do-gooder bureaucrats?), but a new survey says that only 34% of Americans believe that global warming is caused by human activity.
Barely 1/3 of the nation believes that our "evil CO2 production" is causing the planet to heat up.
Looks like Al Gore failed in his quest to force-feed bad information about climate catastrophes on the American public. Someone take back his Nobel Prize, that sheister.
The survey was conducted by Rasmussen and represents the lowest finding that question has received in Rasmussen Reports' history. 48% of those surveyed attribute the planet's heating up to planetary trends on the long-term and 7% blame something else (probably Canadians).
Looking at it from policial party, 51% of Democrats are sold on Al Gore's theory while 48% of the "political class" (whatever that is) also side with Big Al. 66% of Republicans and 47% of non-affiliated adults disagree.
On the other hand, 62% of Americans agree that global warming is a serious problem and 33% more say it's "very serious." The other 35% say it's no big deal.
Other findings were also interesting. 63% of Americans believe that we need to find other sources for energy (DUH) and 58% think that nuclear plants are a way to go.
The survey was conducted on April 15-16 and consisted of 1,000 likely voters.
Green cavemen tree thumpers are up in arms over the survey and coming up with all kinds of ways to refute its findings, including naming Americans as "stupid."
Meanwhile, the Jebs and Bible Thumpers are lauding the survey as a breakthrough showcasing how Americans aren't taken in by the tripe pushed forward by those dirty hippies.
The rest of us see it as another survey of a whopping 1,000 people that comprises 0.0000003% of our population (give or take a zero). Were it to have found the opposite conclusions, the morons on either side would be trading places and making the same statements.
At least no one is listening to Al Gore anymore, that fat hypocritical jackass.
