Three Quarters Believe Global Warming A 'Natural Occurrence'
UK News ^ | Tuesday, 26th June 2007 | UK News

ALMOST three quarters of people believe global warming is a 'natural occurrence' and not a result of carbon emissions, a survey claimed today. The online study which polled nearly 4000 votes found that a staggering 71 percent of people think that the rise in air temperature happens naturally.

And 65 percent think that scientists' catastrophic predictions if pollution isn't curbed are 'far fetched'.

While this poll is encouraging, I am skeptical of the poll. Most people seem to have been indoctrinated.

Staggering? Sounds like the author is throwing in some bias...or gets paid by the word.

BWAHAHAHA! "Far fetched" is probably cleaned up from what the 65 percent said originally.

Its actually very simple. There is only one thing powerful enough to heat the earth. The sun.

Hi, my name is Al Gore. I am here to say you all need me to explain to you how we are causing global climate change. I also want to ask why no one is taking me serially?

Since no one has real proof as to what causes albore’s new buzzword “global warming”, it’s safe to assume that it’s a natural occurrence until someone comes out with 100% proof positive of what does cause it.

Amazing. At 71% this means, to liberals, that the laws of nature have miraculously changed.

This proves that three-quarters of the population are smarter than Al Gore.

Al Gore, leading the lowest quartile back to the 17th century!

Three Quarters Believe Global Warming A 'Natural Occurrence'

Most reassuring report I've read in weeks!
Three-quarters of American voters are sane...
Still... 1/4 neurotic and/or insane is scary.

Ya, I know what you mean, people need to take some time out of the day to read up on some basic astronomy, specifically how the earth is tilted on its axis, it’s precession on it’s axis and how these factors relate to the summer and winter solstices. Also how the earth’s hemispheres get closer and farther away from the sun at particular times during the year. I know it sounds like simple stuff you might think you already know but pick up a book you might be surprised how much simple science disproves man-made global warming.
