This drives me nuts.
A recent British opinion poll found only one-quarter of respondents believe human activities are causing climate change down 16 percentage points since November.
"Guess what?" crows a U.K. blogger who calls himself Steve Green. "Man-made climate change skeptics are now in the majority! So the science is not exactly settled after all is it?"
By the same logic, I suppose, he'd conclude that if a majority told pollsters the sun circles Earth, centuries of astronomy would be cast into doubt.
The fact that polls reveal diminishing concern doesn't mean there's less reason for concern.
If it were just Green or a handful of his ilk spinning their trash, it wouldn't matter. But there are many, on the Internet and in mainstream media, who similarly confuse opinion with fact and free expression with reality.
Their efforts are contributing to what an increasing number of commentators are happily calling the collapse of the climate change movement.

It’s only the hot air spewing forth from the AGWers that is causing the warming they seem to believe exists.
What he’s really saying is that people are stupid....that we must “follow” to save ourselves from our stupidity.
Well they will soon be a by themselves in clinging.
True, the Marxist Watermelons still have the goal of a Communist utopia where everyone is imprisoned in a Gulag except the inner circle party elite.
Do these people claim the climate or earth temperature would be static without people?
I think all people that think we are destroying the earth's climate should leave this earth immediately, otherwise staying would be a hypocrisy.
Nothing dies harder than a blindly-held false assumption.
What part of "Decline" in "Hide the Decline" did you not understand Gorrie?
Consensus of like-minded “scientists” reviewing each others work is more like it.
I’d be interested in hearing more of what Sarah Palin has to say about the matter as she dealt with permafrost and tundra issues.
“Environment Columnist”?
The exposure of the rampant, all-encompassing fraud within the IPCC must really have this guy’s shorts in a knot. Do newspapers really have the cash to pay for someone to whine about a fiction like manmade global warming?
There may be something to their argument...Today is February 27. I’m guessing that in a matter of a few short months, it’s going to be substantially warmer than it is now!!
Consensus also “proved” that Pluto isn’t a planet.
This person has a vested interest in AGW and will die clinging to this sham.
Count me in!
For one million dollars I will use my scientific expertise and guarantee that by June all the cities within the 48 continental states of the USA will be considerably warmer then they are now and all because of man made global warming.
Now, where's my money?
The Ejecta and increased infrared radiation caused by Solar flares and storms is what really heats up the Earth's atmosphere. Of course the Warmists will claim it's the Human race causing it.
They will be more aggressive than ever and demand extensive laws the first chance they get over the next 11 years of the coming Solar maximum. The lies will flow like water from the media and we might lose this fight because of them.
What monumental morons. What complete oafs. What deceiving fools. What...I could go on.
