Public Cools on Warming. Is Obama to Blame? - Planet Gore on National Review Online

What accounts for the shift in opinion? One possibility is that Obama's declining popularity has worn off on warmism. Belief in global warming because of human activity declined nine percentage points among Republicans and eight among Democrats, but a whopping 20 points among independents, the group most apt to change its mind about the president. Another possibility is that in a recession, people have real problems to worry about and thus are less likely to be concerned about hypothetical fears.

Whatever the reasons, though, this poll ought to be a warning to senators who have repeatedly threatened to take up cap-and-trade one of these days.

FuturePundit: Biofuel Crops Seen Contributing To Global Warming

Australian Climate Madness: More photos of the "thousands" at global "350" protests

Maybe a hundred, if we're being generous (excluding all the bystanders looking puzzled). But at least they could all stand up. Yet despite the almost laughably small size of these protests, they get huge coverage in the media. A Google news search of "350 climate" yields no less than 2,521 news articles in the past day (see here). Just another example of the undue weight the alarmist media affords to a tiny news story when it has the magic words "climate change" in it.
