Climate deal, Obama and scientists take hit in poll
Uh oh. It looks like the carbon has hit the fan (to our foreign readers, that’s not a good thing). A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that while a majority of Americans are willing to pay a nominal amount for reducing their own greenhouse gasses, 57% are opposed to a global plan in which the United States and other industrialized countries would contribute $10 billion a year to help developing countries pay for reducing the amount of greenhouse gases they release. Of course, most of the thinking people who oppose it are Republicans (74 percent) and independents (58 percent); a majority (54 percent) of democrats support the plan.
The increasingly unpopular President Obama does not get away scot-free. At 100′s into his presidency, 61 percent approved of the way he was dealing with the issue. Approval slumped to 54 percent in June and to 45 percent now. A big contributing factor has been a steep decline among political independents, who went from 62 percent positive in April to 36 percent now.
And it seems that the false science of climate change is pushing scientists closer and closer to the ranks of lawyers and used car salesmen. One in four now have no trust in what scientists say about the environment; once again, this is lead by Republicans and independents, in addition to seniors, where the number of doubters doubled since April 2007. As for the democrats’ numbers: these free-thinkers’ minds have changed only marginally.
We’ll never win over those in the Religion of Settled Science; they are too far gone into the cult to deprogram. But the rest of the world, who by the way are freezing their asses off, are starting to see through this, the biggest scam in the history of the world.

Yes, I think Australians (well those who have jobs and families ) are starting to see through this CC garbage. We still have our looney lefties and those on government benefits that don’t wash their hair and smoke pot who think it is real, but I think our PM will get the fright of his life at the next election in 2010.
Between climateaudit.org, cfact.com, this site and climatedepot.com I’m getting a lot of good information on the truth of AGW but I’m looking for a site that has an active forum on the issue. Does anyone know of an active forum that’s geared towards ‘sceptics’?
RE: “taking a hit in the Poll”.
If we look at the $500K the Government gave Mike Mann at Penn State to ‘bend’ more data, we might not immediately recognize all of the benefactors.
I think there’s every reason to believe that this added fuel to the fire and directly impacted the race between Brown and Coakley. Like tapping on a bad tooth.
Did you notice that Coakley thanked a lot of people for their support, but did I miss the thanks to Obama? Or was it missing in her concession speech?
Brilliant timing on the payment to Mann, it sure didn’t hurt Brown.
