MORE AMERICANS ABLE TO SEE THROUGH ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ NONSENSE…


News now comes to us in the form of a new Gallup poll, one that covers specifically the topic of Americans’ concern over environmental issues such as water and air pollution and extinction of species, indicates such concern would seem to be down from as recently as last year.  The data also shows that of all green issues, Americans worry the least about global warming, which more recently has become more generically referred to as ‘climate change’ or the even more innocuous sounding, ‘climate disruption.  Now I’m quite sure that such news will have little, if any, impact on the amount of energy that Barry & Co. will spend trying to make this issue seem more important that it is since we all understand the motivation behind it.

As part of its annual Environmental survey, which Gallup has done for more than two decades, the surveyors, back on March 5-8, asked, “I’m going to read you a list of environmental problems. As I read each one, please tell me if you personally worry about this problem a great deal, a fair amount, only a little, or not at all.”  The results showed that when it came to “pollution of drinking water,” 60% worried about it a “great deal” in 2014 but only 55% worried about it a “great deal” in 2015.  For “global warming or climate change,” some 34% worried about it a “great deal” in 2014 but that went down to 32% in 2015.  The full results from Gallup are presented in the screenshot at the top of this post. 

And it was in commenting about the results of the poll that Gallup said, “Americans' concern about several major environmental threats has eased after increasing last year. As in the past, Americans express the greatest worry about pollution of drinking water, and the least about global warming or climate change.”  The Gallup folks went on to say, “[T]he nature of the environmental agenda may indirectly be influencing Americans' concern.”  And they added, “The primary focus of the environmental movement has shifted toward long-term threats like global warming -- issues about which Americans tend to worry less than about more immediate threats like pollution.”  Personally, I don’t worry about any of this crap!

“Importantly,” said the surveyors, “even as global warming has received greater attention as an environmental problem from politicians and the media in recent years, Americans' worry about it is no higher now than when Gallup first asked about it in 1989.”  And then, when Gallup broke the data down by political party, Republican versus Democrat, it found that only 13% of Republicans worry a “great deal” about global warming in 2015 while 52% of Democrats worry a “great deal” about the issue.  And since it’s pretty much common knowledge that Democrats are not really particularly bright, it should come as no surprise that Democrats worry far more than do Republicans about this nonexistent issue.

More and more Americans are coming to realize just how much of a scam all of this ‘climate change’ nonsense really is.  They’re paying more attention, and rightfully so, to what it is that’s going on around them and less to political rhetoric that is really so patently false.  They see that we have not had a major hurricane hitting this country in roughly 5 years, they hear how it was that last year represented a 60 year low in tornado activity and how many areas of the country have yet to wrap up what remains the coldest winter that many of them have experienced in decades.  And yet at the same time they’re expected to believe that the planet is getting warmer and that it’s all because of them.  And they’re responding with a collective, “BULLSHIT!”
