An Inconvenient Poll: Al Gore, Looks Like American’s Think the Earth is Losing Its Fever … Global Warming Down 20 Points in 3 Years

An Inconvenient Poll: Belief in global warming down 20 points in 3 years …

Is Al Gore getting the cold shoulder on Global warming? In a recent Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, only 57% of Americans think there is solid evidence that the world is getting warmer. The belief that man is responsible for Al “the earth has a fever” Gore’s global warming has also fallen. That is down 20% points in 3 years and down 14% from just last year.

Pew Research Center

Americans are beginning to get educated on the so-called science of global warming. They are no longer believing Gore hook, line and sinker. The more America becomes informed, the more they turn away from the global warming propaganda.

In a poll of 1,500 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People&the Press, released Thursday, the number of people saying there is strong scientific evidence that the Earth has gotten warmer over the past few decades is down from 71 percent in April of last year and from 77 percent when Pew started asking the question in 2006. The number of people who see the situation as a serious problem also has declined.

The steepest drop has occurred during the past year, as Congress and the Obama administration have taken steps to control heat-trapping emissions for the first time and international negotiations for a new treaty to slow global warming have been under way. At the same time, there has been mounting scientific evidence of climate change — from melting ice caps to the world’s oceans hitting the highest monthly recorded temperatures this summer.

Since 2006, across every party line including Democrats the belief that there is evidence that global warming exists has gone down drastically. Democrats has seen a drop of -16%, Republicans -24 and Independents -26%.

This is rather poor timing on the part of Barack Obama and Democrats as they try try to ram “cap & tax” down the throats of Americans. In the present political and economic climate, pardon the pun, their is hardly the appetite for such measures.  All this while the global warming folks are set to meet at the Copenhagen summit in December. While misguided environmental extremists look to destroy Americas economy in the midst of a recession, Q and O points out that developing countries like India are not willing to sacrifice development for climate change as they tell everyone, suck it.

New Weekly Jobless Claims Rise by 11,000 from Previous Week to 531,000 … 10% Unemployment cannot be Far Away

More signs that the economy is getting better as per the Obama Administration. Hey Barack Obama, your stimulus bill just lost another 11,000 jobs. The US did not lose 520,000 jobs this week, we lost 531,000! Every state except North Dakota has lost jobs since the stimulus plan was enacted.

This most recent weekly addition of the subtraction of 11,000 jobs should continue to weigh down Obama’s approval ratings. Wait until unemployment hits the magic number of 10% and see what happens to The One’s approval ratings and this administrations spin that the economy is getting better. Americans have stated that job creating should be the President’s number one goal. These numbers are going to leave a mark.

The number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for jobless benefits rose more than expected last week, after falling in five of the past six weeks.

President Barack Obama Continued Poll Number Drop … Cap & Trade Legislation Not on the Table This Year

As Barack Obama’s poll numbers continue to fall and it becomes more and more evident that “We the People” want nothing of his socialist agenda that will do nothing but raise deficits and adversely affect an economy that is already is a recession … an Obama advisor stated that climate change Cap & Trade legislation will not be able to pass this year.  With the ever increasing cost to families that this legislation will cost American, one would doubt whether it will ever see the light of day. Pushing a vote to next year even closer to the 2010 midterm elections, politicians who actually want to return to Washington, DC would be wise to be absent on the day of the Cap & tax vote.

President Barack Obama’s top energy adviser said Friday there is no way Congress will be able to pass a bill on climate change this year.

“That’s not going to happen,” said the adviser, Carol Browner.

Browner made the statement at a conference organized by The Atlantic magazine, just days after Senate Democrats introduced a major bill on climate change. In a video posted on the magazine’s Web site, Browner was asked about the prospects of enacting climate legislation by the time negotiations on a global climate treaty begin in December in Copenhagen.

Americans already facing financial difficulties are really going to appreciate an extra $1,761 a year per household with Cap & Tax. Oh wait, look at this … cap & tax cost went up again. According to a report in the New York Post the cost per household is closer to $1,870.

Rasmussen Reports indicate that Obama has an overall approval rating in September of 49%. As poll numbers go down, what Democrat politician in their right mind is going to stick their neck out for a President with downward trending poll numbers? 

More Hope and Change from the Obama Administration: Cap & Trade Will Cost American Households $1,761 a Year

More Obama Hope & Change:

Hey America, ready for this expense during a recession? I thought President Obama said that he would not pass a tax on the middle class? Obama also said that “Tax & trade” would not cost this much. The budget director and the President admit it will result in high energy costs for “We the People”.

Barack Obama, never met a tax he did not like. He just does not stop in his taxing of the people and business. How is the economy suppose to grow?

From the lips of the Obama Administration … Cap & Trade will cost American households $1761 a year.

The Obama administration has privately concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent.

Senate Democrats Skeptical about “Cap & Trade” Climate Bill … Unsure Whether Higher Priority in 2009

Look what happens when a Presidents approval rating start to sink like the Titanic. Senate Democrats are now getting cold feet with the passage of the “Cap & Trade” climate bill. Suddenly, the Democrat controlled Senate is pushing off the vote on a bill they know is unpopular with the people and would adversely affect the economy. The fact of the matter is that “global warming” is not an important issue and “We the People” do not believe the rhetoric.

“It’s a difficult schedule” with many members already “anxious” about healthcare reform, Senator Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Democrat, told Reuters when asked about prospects this year for a bill to cap emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

What is Obama Waiting for Christmas? Obama has Less than Half Political Appointees in Place

From The Astute Blogger …

After seven months in office and the Obama/Axelrod/Rahm political juggernaut still has less than half of Obama appointees in place. What is “The One” waiting for Christmas? To quote a phrase from The Astute Blogger and one we use often, it’s “AMATEUR” hour in the White House. How could any White House be so inept? It’s deja vu all over again … welcome to 1976–1980 and the Jimmy Carter era.

As President Obama tries to turn around a summer of setbacks, he finds himself still playing without most of his own team. Seven months into his presidency, fewer than half of his top appointees are in place advancing his agenda.

Of more than 500 senior policymaking positions requiring Senate confirmation, just 43 percent have been filled so far — a reflection of a White House that grew more cautious after several nominations blew up last spring, a Senate that is intensively investigating nominees and a legislative agenda that has consumed both.

Has Global Warming Ended? NYC 2nd Coldest July on Record & Record Lows in July in Nashville, TN

The Corner asks, has Global Warming stopped? Good question. If one is to look at the data over the past 10 years, it is hard to argue that there is global warming.

In fact, it’s more complicated than that. If we had no warming over the past ten years (true) and lots more CO2 in the air (true) but also a huge increase in volcanic activity (not true, but posited as an illustration), this would not be evidence that AGW theory was untrue, because the models used to predict warming would have called for no warming because all the particulate matter thrown up by the volcanoes should offset the effect of the CO2. So what we are really looking for is the degree of divergence between the predictions of the models used as the basis for long-run warming predictions versus actual temperatures, in order to falsify or corroborate the operational theory …

The Astute Blogger provides two charts, since the global warming folks and Al Gore love their charts, that show there has been no warming over the past 10 years. The premise is a simple one. If atmospheric man made CO2 has increased steadily over the past 10 years and global temperatures have not … where is the global warming and how is man responsible?

Even Al Gore’s Nashville, TN has experienced the coolest July 21 in history. Maybe Al was away that day and not doing any global warming speeches emitting his hot air and CO2 into the atmosphere. Also, maybe Al Gore turned his lights off that day, as he certainty did not for Earth Day 2009.

When the temperature at the National Weather Service station dipped to 58 degrees at 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, it wiped out the previous record low for the date of 60 degrees, which was set in 1877.

So if “man” is creating global warming with CO2 emissions, why is NYC on track for the second coolest July on record?

WITH AN AVERAGE DAILY TEMPERATURE OF 71.6…CURRENTLY RUNNING 4.8 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL…THIS JULY IS ON TRACK FOR THE 2ND COOLEST ON RECORD. BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES HAVE OCCURRED ON 22 OUT OF 24 DAYS…WITH THE OTHER TWO DAYS BEING NORMAL. THERE HAVE BEEN ZERO ABOVE NORMAL DAYS.

However, if one asks the global warming LEFT, you are an idiot and a moron for thinking other than the scientific facts. Because let us not get science and letting the people know the facts about temperatures get in the way. Maybe this is the reason why more and more people think that “global warming” is exaggerated. A January 2009 Rasmussen poll showed that 44% of people say global warming is due to planetary trends, not people.

With temperatures going down over the past 10 years and Obama pushing “cap & trade” during a recession is it any wonder why 56% of Americans say they will not pay more taxes to fight Global Warming.

Change the Republican Party Can Believe In … Voters Trust Republicans more than Democrats on 8 of 10 Key Issues

Change Republicans can Believe In …

Barack Obama always talks of change. It appears that they American voters are starting to make some changes of their own on the key political issues. According to a recent Rasmussen Poll, voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on 8 out of 10 key political issues. The key to this poll is that for the second month on this issue of the economy, Republicans are trusted by voters more than Obama and the Democrats. This trend does not bode well for Obama or Democrats up for reelection in 2010.

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They’ve also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education.

It is only a matter of time when Americans see just how expensive Obama’s healthcare plan is and they realize that single payer nationalized healthcare is nothing more than a government take over of the health insurance industry when that issue slides toward the Republican ledger. If Americans don’t trust government to spend money wisely and trust their economic judgment more than Congress, than why would not Americans feel the same about their own healthcare?

42% of Americans Say “Cap & Trade” Bill will Hurt the Economy … Thanks Obama

A special thanks to Barack Obama and the House Democrats and 8 Turncoat Republicans, taxing people in a recession for a scientific myth. There goes the economy.

42% of Americans believe that the recently passed Democratic tax known as “Cap & Trade” will hurt the US economy according to a recent Rasmussen poll. The 24% who are unsure probably have no idea what “cap & trade” really is or the damage that it will cause. Once they are informed the 42% will go even higher.

Americans have mixed feelings about the historic climate change bill that passed the House on Friday, but 42% say it will hurt the U.S. economy.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 19% believe the climate change bill passed by the House on Friday will help the economy. Fifteen percent (15%) say it will have no impact, and 24% are not sure.

The Weekly Standard makes a great point in that once Americans hear that Democrats and elitist liberals call those in opposition and simply stating their opinion as treasonous to the planet, the numbers will grow.

And this gets to the crux of why cap and trade may end up being such a tremendous boon to Republicans. Not only do the American people oppose it by a healthy margin, but they are having it foisted on them by elites who smugly deride their opposition as treason to planet earth.

FYI to the uninformed regarding “Cap and Trade,” according to a study by the Heritage Foundation, the legislation would cost the average family nearly $3,000 per household per year.

Unbelievable: Carol Browner, Energy Czar Questioned as to Whether She Read Cap & Trade Bill … Answer, No!

Criminal … Remember America, they work for “We the People”.

We prosecute Bernie Madoff for the fraud he perpetrated on unsuspecting investors, yet a government is supposed to go unchecked and allowed to partake in their own fraud on America called “cap & trade”.  They feel any question that actually questions them is not worthy of and answer and mean spirited.

Barack Obama’s Energy Czar, Carol Browner, appeared on Fox & Friend’s yesterday to discuss the “cap & trade” Obama energy tax on all Americans that recently passed the House by a narrow majority. One might assume that the Obama energy czar would have read the bill since after all she is the energy czar. However, you know what happens when you ASS-U-ME!

As reported by Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, after Fox’s Steve Doocy asks Browner whether she has read the entire “cap and Tax” bill, she gets defensive and declares that it is unfair that Doocy blindsided her. Blindsided for asking whether she read the bill that she was discussing? Are you joking? She was asked a simple question as to whether she read the bill and that is supposed to be a gotcha question? Sadly, no one read this bill in the House but saw fit to inflict it upon “WE THE PEOPLE”.

“I’ve read vast portions of it.”

STEVE DOOCY: “[I] know the bill is over 1,000 pages long. Have you have read it?”
CAROL BROWNER: “Oh, I’m very familiar with this bill.”
DOOCY: “Have you have read it?”
BROWNER: “We have obviously been watching this for a very long time. I am very …”
DOOCY: “I’m sure you’ve got an idea of it, but you have read it?”
BROWNER: “I’ve read major portions of it, absolutely.”
DOOCY: “So the answer no you haven’t read it. But you’ve read a big chunk of it.”
BROWNER: “No, no, no that’s not fair. That’s absolutely not fair.”

So let’s get this correct. An Obama mouth piece goes on national TV to shill and spin to the American people that “cap & trade” is not a tax on all American’s and that it will not greatly increase all Americans energy bills, yet energy czar Carol Browner finds it unfair for her to be asked whether she read the damn “pile of sh#t” in the first place?

How privileged does the Obama White House think they are that they do not have to answer to “We the People”?
