The article, Environmental Issues Fall in Poll of Public's Concern, highlights the fact that as the economy has worsened, people are caring less and less about the "environmental" issues said to be plaguing our future (read: global warming). The original article by Pew research can be found here.
The article's author seems stunned to learn that Americans rank the issue of global warming as NUMBER TWENTY on a list of top 20 concerns.
global warming, I think we can all agree that we want the earth to be habitable for generations to come. This is only in the best interests of our entire species. ... But at the same time, I also don't believe in being a martyr for a vain cause. There is absolutely no reason for the US to commit economic suicide in order to save an earth that's going to be destroyed by our economic competitors in the meantime. In the long run we lose both ways.It's about time that people started to realize what's really at stake every time the phrase global warming is circulated around in the MSM. 'Global warming' and 'economic growth' are polar opposites - I may not be a meterologist, but I don't believe you need any formal training to recognize that you can't have a snowstorm and a hurricane on the same day.
If nothing else, hopefully our current economic challenges might trim the ranks of reigning liberals who tout global warming as a harbinger of the future.
Along with cheaper energy prices, falling immigration numbers, and falling trade deficits, maybe the authors of the article Why the Recession Might Be Good For Us As A Country can add the collapse of the global warming ponzi scheme to their list.
A documentary titled "The Great Global Warming Swindle" was produced in 2008, here is the first part of that documentary.
Great article Corky. I am glad to see the American public beginning to place this issue where it belongs.
