The Answer Sheet - Movies and School Reform: Lessons from ‘An Inconvenient Truth’
But how much did the film actually shift public opinion on global warming? Even a cursory look at the data seems to suggest that over the long term, not much.

Consider this: When asked by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal in July 1999 for their views on global warming, 23% of respondents said, "Global climate change has been established as a serious problem, and immediate action in necessary." By June 2006, right after “An Inconvenient Truth” came out, that rose to 29%. The figure peaked at 34% in January 2007. Less than three years later, however, by December 2009, the number was back down to where it had been in 1999--at 23%.

C3: Memo To Senators: The Natives, The Media, The Legal & The Scientific Communities Piss On Global Warming Hysteria
After years of climate alarmism from "scientists" about global warming, the beast known as the public, in all its many forms, is decisively turning against the faux-science used to generate the faux AGW-crisis. Putting aside the multiple polls that reveal climate change/global warming to be of low importance to the general public, there is other evidence that strongly suggests that the global warming hysteria is withering rapidly.
