In what I’m not quite sure is an act based on sheer desperation, a blatant disregard for the facts, or perhaps both, we now have, and contrary to numerous recent polls that put ‘climate change’ pretty far down on the list of what the American people view as being their pressing concerns, our resident dyke over there at Barry’s EPA, Gina McCarthy, once again demonstrating that she lives in that same rather strange and alternate universe that all Democrats live in. She does so by continuing to see things quite a bit differently than do the rest of us.
Never one to say die when it comes to the leftist cause of ‘climate change’, Ms. McCarthy was recently heard to say, "From all the recent public opinion work out there on climate change, what stands out to me is this: First, people overwhelmingly consider climate change a problem, and they want action. And second, what’s even more impressive, is the overwhelming support specifically for EPA action to curb carbon pollution from power plants." Such drivel should cause one to ponder just what it might be that she’s been smokin’, drinkin’ or shootin’ up!
Ms. McCarthy spoke Friday at something called the Conference on Energy and the Environment at that haven for leftwing loons of every stripe, Georgetown University. But as was reported just eight short days ago, a recent Gallup Poll found that ‘climate change’ ranked at the bottom of a list of 13 ‘concerns’ that are considered as being most pressing for registered U.S. voters as next month’s midterm elections approach. So I guess I’m not sure where she gets her information or if, like many others of her rabid ideological persuasion, she simply makes shit up as she goes along.
It was in was in the above mentioned Gallup poll that only 40 percent of respondents identified ‘climate change’ as either a "very important" or and "extremely important" factor in their votes. That was well behind the second-lowest-ranking concern, which was abortion and access to contraception, which was considered an important factor by 50 percent of respondents. But such opinions seem to have very little effect on the dykish Ms. McCarthy. I guess she thinks that if she talks about ‘climate change’ often enough and loud enough, the rest of us will come around.
Likewise, there was a Gallup poll in March of this year that found that only 24 percent of Americans worried a great deal about ‘climate change’. In that poll, both "climate change" and "quality of the environment" were near the bottom of a list of 15 issues Gallup asked Americans to rate. Only "race relations" ranked lower than those two issues in Gallup's March 6-9 survey. Look, the only thing that causes me to worry when it comes to ‘climate change’, is how it is that those on the left will try to use it to force me into paying even more for gas and utilities.
