Global Warming Scam Still Melting Down
— Gabriel Malor

Been watching this fall for two years now:

[R]eflecting a trend that has been going on for more than a year, just 35% of U.S. voters now believe global warming is caused primarily by human activity.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 47% think long-term planetary trends are mostly to blame, down three points from the previous survey in January. Eight percent say there is some other reason, and 10% aren't sure.

But 56% say President Obama still believes that human activity is the main cause of global warming. That's the highest finding on that question since last March.The president went to a United Nations summit in Copenhagen in December in hopes of reaching an international agreement that would limit human activities that some scientists say contribute to global warming.

That puts Obama on the wrong side of yet another issue, particularly since no one is buying his line that crippling American industry will create jobs.

7 George Noory was interviewing a guy last night who talked about all the falsified manipulated data and basically was expounding on all the lies being exposed. Some guy called in and refuted everything the guest was saying (all the AGW talking points essentially) and the guest kept telling the caller, "No, you don't understand the science. Are you a scientist? If you were a scientist, you would be questioning the data." Of course, the caller just talked over the guest and ignored everything he was saying and basically called the guest a liar.

Good point. The fever swamp of popular insanity is always right around 30%, so it's unlikely this number can't go any lower. That means that just about everyone with a brain has already rejected the idea of AGW.

#1.) Well, I guess I agree with him sending the troops to Afghan, but he pissed me off when stalled and them sent less than was requested.

#2.) I agree with his all of a sudden support of Nuke Power, but he pissed me off with all the B.S. during the campaign and over the past year, (i.e. Nuke Power for Iran, but America can pay more for less)

#3.) I agree with the Uptake in Violence in Pakistan with the drones

After a year of pure disappointment, I just can't really much in which i believe he is on the correct side of, even though I'm getting sick and tired viewing my own President as "The first post-American President." I like to give him a chance, but he keeps screwing it up!.....SAD!

29 "limit human activities that some scientists say contribute to global warming."


Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but wouldn't that normally read "most" or "almost all" or "all credible" or some such qualifier?

That does have an element of truth.  There may be indeed, a small delta, above the (since earth began) periodic warming/cooling cycles of Gaia, that can be attributed to "man".  Unfortunately, these can not be taxed.  UHI and land use lead the pack.

OK, there's also the methane factor, that eliminating approx 200 million, sacred, cows of India, might help.  Hey!  That's man made!  They allow these global warmists to continue living.

43 Why the Truth Will Only Make the AGW Cult Stronger   Dr. Robert Cialdini wrote a very good primer called "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion." One of its chapters deals with the reason that millenial cults often survive the failure of their founders' predictions of world destruction -- and indeed why it's often the case that the failures drive the cult followers to intensify their belief in the cult.

Warmerists NEED AGW to be real in order to give their lives meaning in the larger context of being the vanguard of the planet's saviors. To them, the failure of the science doesn't mean that the science is wrong, but that it needs deeper exploration -- backed by more fervent belief -- to reach the underlying truth that proves that mankind is the controlling factor in the biosphere's condition and future. The alternative, that humankind is at the mercy of an unthinking, uncaring and implacable Nature, is too horrible for them to comprehend, because it means that at any moment, the Earth can shake humankind off its skin like a dog flinging off its fleas.

(Of course, I am speaking of the garden-variety Warmerists, not the cynical manipulators who know AGW to be a fiction but whose intent has been to use that fiction to start a worldwide cult that would demand an end to capitalist freedoms in the name of ecological survival. Those hucksters will simply move on to the next scam that promises to let them panic the masses into giving them political control.)

particularly since no one is buying his line that crippling American industry will create jobs.

The problem here being, that when you talk to a hardcore EnviroPsyco or Obama voter..same thing..They aren't expecting any increase in jobs. As a matter of fact, they expect the Utopian Collective Society, where there is some magical technology out there that will solve the planets energy needs with no pollution. And of course you will sometimes get the "Why do you need so much," question...That's always fun.

The political class and Perfumed Prince's at the Pentagon have decided that American causalities are a small price to pay if they are able to convert the Afghan's into loving America and Americans.

Nonsense!  During the Vietnam war, the liberal activists attempted to force the Pentagon into like and similar ROE's,  and also the "win their hearts and their minds will follow" mantra which was adopted by the butthead leadership sitting in air conditioned comfort.

The best field commander's had a different idea that worked magic.  "Grab them by the balls and their minds will follow."  And that we did.

Many have been credited with creating this slogan, but it sure wasn't LBJ as written by many liberal journalists.  It's been so long no one knows the true author of this inspiring ditty.

Yeah, the acidification of the oceans. The problem with that one is that is doesn't have anecdotal contact with the public. The genius of the AGW scam is that propagandists can scare-monger during heat waves, and it becomes a plausible idea under public perception.

With the acidification there is no 1st person, coincidental situation in which the average voter will identify with the problem. The ocean thing will follow the route as the ever-shrinking ozone layer, acid rain, or other previous environmental scams.

88 78: While a portion of it is retards, also consider the fact that anyone getting their news passively not only didnt hear about Jones' comments but wouldnt understand the context if they did. The warmists have successfully inserted the "global warming is a fact" meme into the pop culture ether, and since the msm is comprised of fellow travelers no contrary news reports make it to the casual voter.

Same reason obama won, the vast majority of people get their political news quite passively, it doesnt take much to fool them, and the majority don't seek out more information.

Frankly, the fact that its as low as 35% is really good for our side considering these factors.

101 When i was in school, the libtards were saying that too much fossil fuel was going to heat up the earth simply due to the energy released. This was easily disproved with simple mathematics, but it was around long enough to get some press.

Then the "green house gas" theory came along, and funny it came up with the same result, and the same solution; only the mechanism was new. It was pretty obvious to me that all along it was a goal (eliminating fossil fuel) in search of an reason.

This is not the end of that quest, they will just have to find another reason to cripple society.

I saw that on some show. They had footage of it. Certainly didn't look so thick that you could walk across it or anything. I'm not sure how this could cause serious harm to the earth in the long run. If the whole ocean looked like that, yeah, but not some relatively small area.

Here's another thought about that, too. Where did that trash come from? Was it us or some shithole third world country that tosses all their garbage in the ocean? If it's the latter, you'll never hear about it from our media. Only evil whitey could possibly generate the trash to destroy the ocean.

Of course, the last time I saw garbage scows loaded up with crud heading out into the ocean, they were leaving NYC. Looks like the liberals in Manhattan are responsible for using the ocean as a garbage dump.

The politicians have been making us fight with one hand behind our backs since the Korean War.  It's pukeworthy.  But this is above and beyond.  People die in war.  Innocent ones, guilty ones.  It's part of what discourages people from making war.  The nicer war becomes, the more manners and rules are required, the more wars there'll be.  BUT.  Their intentions are good.

I just wonder though.  If it was me, I'd get together with my buddies and decide our own ROE.  You know the commanding officers hate it as much as the troops.  I wonder if they all agree to disregard stupid crap that increases the chances of getting killed.

168 'Nam, I wish you could talk with our boy.  He's gung ho, and just came in top of his platoon in weaponry.  But he also hears all about the politics of stuff going on.  What's a mom and dad to do?  He leaves next week for MOS.  After that is anyone's guess.  And I'm madder than hell.

Just tell him to do what he does best, that's what I tell my boys always and they turned out too well sometimes I think, I don't even win arguments anymore.

And yet it appears that Gabriel Malor himself, and most commenters here STILL believe in Global Warming.

Hey guys, WHAT CAUSES THE SUN TO REVOLVE AROUND THE EARTH??

Maybe if you spent more time answering that question you'd be in a better position to criticize Obama and others who believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming despite there being exactly ZERO credible evidence for it.

177 I have a 17 year old kid show up at the door with a clipboard and was talking about grenn this, and global warming that. I told him this-

"The earth has been here 4.5 billion years, you'll be lucky to see 70, so while you stand here with your silly clipboard pissing away your life and NOT doing stuff like having fun and getting laid, your fat motherfucker of a snake oil salesman messiah Algore is making millions and having a blast."

yeah he wasn't happy to hear that.

I retract my last statement.

The Poll shows that FULLY 100% of those polled are fucking retarded!

THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING!

There never was.  But, keep troubling yourselves over the cause of this NONEXISTENT phenomenon all you like, it's still a free country ... sort of.

Sharrukin,

I'm not a leftist.  Your first post (9:33) indicated that you understood the point I was making; but your second post (9:36) indicates that you missed it entirely.

I'll say it more clearly.  The question asked in the Rasmussen Poll was, essentially, "What has caused Global Warming?"

This is the same as asking "What causes the Sun to revolve around the Earth?"

The correct answer to the Rasmussen Poll is NOT "Global Warming is not caused by man; it's caused by natural variations"

The correct answer is "There is NO SUCH THING AS GLOBAL WARMING!" (shouted, like that) Followed by slamming down the phone.

I make the point only because there have recently been several posts on AoS that rightly dismiss Anthropogenic Global Warming; BUT STILL accept as a GIVEN that there has been Global Warming in the frst place.  You cannot have "Man-Made" Global Warming without ........ you guessed it -- GLOBAL WARMING.

If you believe, as Gabe and Ace apparently do, that there is a credible record of Global Average Temperatures that shows warming (over whatever number of years), then you should present that evidence here or link to it.

Well the cooling trend is becoming obvious even to the left, but when people use the term Global Warming they are generally referring to the theory rather than reality. I mean global warming and global cooling are happening, but they have nothing to do with mankind. They have been cycling back and forth for hundreds of millions of years without any assistance from us.

There is in fact global warming (and cooling which we are now experiencing) though... it just has nothing to do with us.

Uriel, where you coming from?

If there was a Little Ice Age for 300-odd years ending about 1840, and temperatures warmed up since then, obviously there had to have been ...Global Warming.

And if there's never been any Global Warming, where did that two miles of ice go that used to be where my house sits?

Chill.

We've been emerging from the little ace age over the past 150-200 years or so.  Are you denying even that happened?

189 I cannot even keep up with how fast the AGW movement is melting down. I've seen so many admissions of guilt, new "data" found to be fudged, claims proved entirely bogus, the corruption of peer review... I can't keep up. I've got a day job. It's fascinating, really, but even so... Jones? Mann? Hansen? Gore? Could you all go diddle each other quietly in a corner? The rest of us are dealing with an economic meltdown here while trying to sustain our families. Let me know if the oceans rise by 20cm in a year as Hansen claimed they would. Until then STFU!

...just 35% of U.S. voters now believe global warming is caused primarily by human activity.

The number of Americans who still believe the New York Times:  35%.

------------------------------------

Perhaps instead of gratuitious assertions, one of you would like to prove YOUR claim with a record of actual temperatures.

Also, effinayright, I am referring to the 150 years of alleged Global Warming that the IPCC, CRU, NOAA, NASA, etc are relying upon to base their claims.  I am not talking about whether or not we are still in an active ice age from 15,000 years ago. 

If any of you have a credible temperature record for the past 150 years, and, more specifically the years between 1860 - 1940 (prior to military weather balloons), then I'd like to see it.
