Here are the Newsweak numbers and NewsBusters comment:
39 percent of those asked say there is "a lot of disagreement among climate scientists" on the basic question of whether the planet is warming; 42 percent say there is a lot of disagreement that human activities are a major cause of global warming. Only 46 percent say the greenhouse effect is being felt today."

[L]ess than half [are] in favor of requiring high-mileage cars or energy-efficient appliances and buildings.
The reality is that barring additional catastrophic climate events, the public's interest in spending their own money on this issue is going to thoroughly disappear.
For the sake of country's future and our personal freedom of choice, we can certainly hope that is the case.
Global warming PING!
That "major climate event" is happening right now in the San Fran Bay Area -- we are freezing our tails off! High yesterday was something like 65 on the peninsula and not much better today. No summer this year!
Newsweek Disgrace: ‘Global-Warming Deniers: A Well-Funded Machine'
$100,000 Offered to Prove Global Warming: Can You Save Al Gore?
And yesterday's editorial in Investor's Business Daily:
Gore and Newspeak - the new propaganda machine a la Josef
Goebbels.
Wow, wouldn’t that be a heck of a deal?
I call B.S. on AL.
Al has just libeled every scientist that disagrees with him. If anyone is manipulating opinion it is the arrogant global warming crowd that would not credential qualified climatologists and meteorologists if they don't profess the same global warming creed.
Al has not engaged in scientific debate but in strong-arm politics and dishonest publicity. The man is mad, but he certainly is no mad scientist.
Not only is their cordination by Gore and the MSM, but the entertainment & retail industry as well because their is a whole lot of $$$$$$ to be made in pushing global warming hysteria.
Prime example: I’m in the starbucks at my office today, and right at eye level at the cash register is a advertisement for the video of “Artic Tale” with a picture of a polar bear mother and cubs. Its being marketed as a video to buy to watch with your children (its always critical that indoctrination of communist b.s. starts at an early age). Al Gore’s daughter is involved the scripting of the narration in the movie.
Try Center for American Progress -- seems to be the Soros-funded media war-room to me.
Al Gore: “. . .the deniers offered a bounty of $10,000 for each article disputing the consensus that people could crank out and get published somewhere.”
They offered $10,000 for any new scientific paper on the subject which is not a large fee.
Gore charges $100,000 plus expenses as a speaking fee.
Trick question.
Of course.
I’m not so convinced it’s coordinated, as in a deliberate anc conscious conspiracy.
It’s just that the mentally deranged tend to quickly and loudly repeat the most bizarre sounds thet hear. Like the psychos at the loony bin who start “barking conversations” with dogs passing by. Some kind of aural-stimulation disorder.
Yeah, there must be at least 4 or 5 deniers who've said this. I refer anyone interested in this particular aspect of the topic to point #4 in my profile.
not skeptics, deniers.
just like they changed from global WARMING to global CLIMATE CHANGE.
next week global warm cooling change shifting.
(beware manbearpig 50% man 50% bear 50% pig EXCELCIOR!)
One thing I noticed this week was a glut of cable stations airing those The Day After Tomorrow-It Could Happen Tomorrow type of pseudo documentaries that are designed to scare the impressionable.
