Sing it girl. She’s a total sweetheart.

        

Oh wow this is just a fantastic advancement of collective retardation!  Apparently, as scientific evidence mounts supporting the fact that global warming is occurring, the number of Americans who agree is falling dramatically.

In a poll of 1,500 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, released Thursday, the number of people saying there is strong scientific evidence that the Earth has gotten warmer over the past few decades is down from 71 percent in April of last year and from 77 percent when Pew started asking the question in 2006. The number of people who see the situation as a serious problem also has declined.

The steepest drop has occurred during the past year, as Congress and the Obama administration have taken steps to control heat-trapping emissions for the first time and international negotiations for a new treaty to slow global warming have been under way. At the same time, there has been mounting scientific evidence of climate change – from melting ice caps to the world’s oceans hitting the highest monthly recorded temperatures this summer.

The poll was released a day after 18 scientific organizations wrote Congress to reaffirm the consensus behind global warming. A federal government report Thursday found that global warming is upsetting the Arctic’s thermostat.

Only about a third, or 36 percent of the respondents, feel that human activities – such as pollution from power plants, factories and automobiles – are behind a temperature increase. That’s down from 47 percent from 2006 through last year’s poll.

I have a really great idea for everyone.  How about we ask climatologists and scientists what the truth is.  I don’t think Pat Robertson actually knows, nor does a church in West Virginia blaming it on “fag weddings”.   It is simple.  ASK A SCIENTIST.   I can already tell you what answer you will get.
