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.

Very true, no wonder all the people are skeptical. All the different opinions and all the stupid and pointless research scientists do just makes you believe that global warming is an exaggerated hoax. All it is being used for right now is to allow governments to tax more and more. Soon we'll be taxed for breathing because we emit too much CO2. But yet, the earth is cooling.
Take care, Lorne
