Al Gore and his like-minded minions and fellow traveller Democratic Congress members have been hyping global warming for years now and feel the payback is near. "Cap and Trade" will reduce the carbon footprint of the average American to 1867 levels. What kind of effect will that have on standard of living? Well, apparently all of the geniuses with models that can predict climate 100 years into the future (but miss bacly predicting climate for the next season) are just too busy to predict the economic fallout from "cap and trade". And what about the biggest CO2 emitter, China -- well, if we cripple our economy first, they promise to follow.

Only problem is that, despite years of media promotion, fewer and fewer people are believing the hype.

What on Earth is going on in Washington? The public believes less and less that human beings are responsible for global warming, surface temperature shows no net change in over a decade, and there’s still a bill about to be debated in the House that will require the average American in 2050 to have a “carbon footprint” no larger than it was for the average American in 1867.

The politics of global warming are becoming increasingly disconnected from the public. Day after day, hour after hour, telescreens shout, “Go Green! Go Green!” Fewer and fewer people care.

On April 19, Rasmussen Reports released a new global warming poll: 48 percent of respondents believe that observed climate changes are being “caused by planetary trends,” while 34 percent believe they are a result of human influence on the atmosphere. When Obama was sworn in, the relative numbers were 44 percent and 41 percent. Just three months ago, opinion was pretty much evenly split, and now there’s a whopping 14 percent plurality in favor of “natural causes.”

This is a change from bad to worse in the eyes of environmentalists. In January, Gallup found that, out of 20 prominent issues, Americans ranked global warming dead last in terms of importance. If the newer Rasmussen results are any guide, support has waned even further since then.
