Global Warming: Dead Last Among American Priorities

It’s a wonderful thing to watch the light come on inside someone’s head. It may be even more wonderful to watch that light coming on collectively in a society.

Over the past five years or so, we’ve seen the number of people who believe in anthropogenic global warming drop, drop, drop as more people learn about the gaping lack of real scientific evidence to support the theory.

I saw a survey a year or so ago that ranked the concerns of the American public, and global warming was dead-last on the priorty list.

Now Pew announces that yet again,  the fantasy of anthropogenic global warming is the last thing most Americans are worried about.

Dealing with global warming ranks at the bottom of the public’s list of priorities; just 28% consider this a top priority, the lowest measure for any issue tested in the survey. Since 2007, when the item was first included on the priorities list, dealing with global warming has consistently ranked at or near the bottom. Even so, the percentage that now says addressing global warming should be a top priority has fallen 10 points from 2007, when 38% considered it a top priority.

Public opinion doesn’t determine right or wrong or even the merits of something.  But in this case, the low priority Americans put on this nonsense corresponds fairly well with the evidence which points to natural and cyclic climate change over earth’s history, not socialist prattle that demonizes modern conveniences in pursuit of limiting our freedom and lightening our pockets.
