Juliet Eilperin sees the “climate change” issue slipping away. It is no longer the number one environmental concern among Americans. When climate change is ranked among all problems that concern Americans, most polls show it as a mere asterisk, or bundled in with “other” or “misc.”
Eilperin starts her commentary:
Just 18 percent of those polled name it as their top environmental concern. That compares with 33 percent who said so in 2007, amid publicity about a major U.N. climate report and Al Gore’s Oscar-winning documentary about global warming. Today, 29 percent identify water and air pollution as the world’s most pressing environmental issue.”
That means the number of people who view climate change as a problem has been almost cut in half in just 5 years. Now about 60% more people are concerned about water and air pollution in the world – that’s good!
Clearly education on the issue of climate is spreading. People are becoming aware that climate change is natural and that the globe has not warmed in 15 years.
Eilperin writes that “the findings indicate that Washington’s decision to shelve action on climate policy means that the issue has receded” and that some “who feel passionately about the issue say they have noticed that President Obama is no longer pushing a bill that would limit greenhouse gas emissions.”
Don’t expect any politicians to make climate change a central issue in this year’s elections.
It would be a mistake to think that Barry O’barmy has given up on CAGW/climate change, this is one sneaky operator and steeped in the shenanigans and ‘political grime’ of Chicago.
Very early on in his presidency, Obama realised that the Waxman/Markey bill was dead in the water, so he shifted the goal posts and is enacting his Carbon dioxide emissions witchcraft through another guise – the Environmental Protection Agency.
It didn’t go away, it is all there – have a look: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/regulations.htm
Just as the American public wised up to the great scam [global warming], so did Obarmy breeze into power.
This guy is one supreme operator and is fully immersed in the theory of UN IPCC, UNEP agenda[s] – Obama hasn’t given up, though it’s time for the American public to wake up – starting this November – would be a good time to redress the balance.
