Gallup: 41% Say Global Warming "Exaggerated"

An increasing amount of Americans are skeptical of all of the talk about global warming. While I may personally believe it may be happening, all of the hooplah is out of control, with Al Gore more in love with Al Gore than Miami-Dade county in November 2000.

As recently as 2006, significantly more Americans thought the news underestimated the seriousness of global warming than said it exaggerated it, 38% vs. 30%. Now, according to Gallup's 2009 Environment survey, more Americans say the problem is exaggerated rather than underestimated, 41% vs. 28%.

The trend in the "exaggerated" response has been somewhat volatile since 2001, and the previous high point, 38%, came in 2004. Over the next two years, "exaggerated" sentiment fell to 31% and 30%. Still, as noted, the current 41% is the highest since Gallup's trend on this measure began in 1997.
