Less than half of Americans buy into global warming

Less than half of Americans believe global warming is occurring and is primarily caused by humans, a newly published Angus Reid public opinion poll reports.

Merely 42 percent of Americans and 43 percent of Britons believe global warming is occurring and is primarily caused by humans, according to the three-nation poll. Canadians are more willing to buy into climate alarmists’ assertions, with 58 percent saying global warming is occurring and is primarily caused by humans.

According to the survey results, global warming alarmists shot themselves in the foot when the public learned about prominent alarmist scientists hiding, doctoring, and destroying data and bullying editors of peer-reviewed journals not to publish studies casting doubt on global warming alarmism.

“We saw a big drop in belief in emissions-caused climate change immediately after the so-called Climategate controversy,” said Mario Canseco, vice president of Angus Reid. “Many people in the United Kingdom were disappointed with the revelation, and the numbers have dropped as a result.”
