“Winter offered as proof of warming” declares a headline in the print edition of the Washington Post, although perhaps the irony of that later struck the editors and they softened it a bit in the online edition to “Harsh winter a sign of disruptive climate change, report says.”
Nothing especially outrageous here. The enviros have been doing this for years; indeed, it’s why they adopted the term “global climate change” so that any change in climate or even just weather – which obviously this is – can be portrayed as a result of man’s nefarious activities in putting greenhouse gases into the air. The report, incidentally, is from the National Wildlife Federation that makes money by promoting global warming in the same way that GM makes money selling trucks.
But folks are having trouble buying it. A poll released Monday
by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press asked respondents to rank 21 issues in terms of priority. Global warming came in dead last. It’s come in last before, but this time just 28 percent of those surveyed list global warming as a top priority, down from 35 percent in 2008.

Wow, what an informative poll. Let's ask a bunch of people who don't know a Carbon Sink from their kitchen sink if they think global warming is an important issue, while ignoring the research of thousands of scientists at the top of their fields who've dedicated their entire careers to studying earth systems. Next time I'm bleeding and need urgent medical attention, I'll go ask my neighbor who's into sewing for help — she's obviously good with needles, and probably better than some silly over-educated medical doctor!
Helen,
You mean those scientists that falsified their data to show global warming?
