CANBERRA, Australia (AP) -- Increasingly common experiences with extreme climate-related events such as the Colorado wildfires, a record warm spring and preseason hurricanes have convinced many Americans climate change is a reality, the head of a U.S. scientific agency said Friday.

Many Americans had previously seen climate change as a "nebulous concept" removed from them in time and geography, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco.

I’m also one of them that are convinced the climate is changing. It’s not like climate change is a new concept, just the so called solutions are new

Summer wildfires = MSM, “GLOOOOOOOOOBAL WAAAAAAAAAARMING. We’re all going to die unless you bicycle to work.”

Snowmageddon = MSM, “Shhhh, it’s just winter”.

My how inconvenient Snowmageddon was in all of this mix. But, George Soros WILL implement United Nations Agenda 21 to control the USA and he can’t succeed in that if his DNC MSM propaganda artists don’t keep up the drumbeat for the AGW hoax.

In my opinion, if the America public is too bloody stupid to see through the obvious fraud of man-made global warming, then they don’t deserve liberty.

The Fix is in. George Soros will not rest until Agenda 21 rules the USA and he crashes the US economy, and his brain-dead minions are going to engage in treason until this all comes about.

God Bless the USA and have mercy on her oppressed, enslaved grandchildren who will never know liberty or enjoy private property rights.

I hope Satan has a very special welcome in hell for Mr. Soros.

The world's climate has always changed.

The “man-made” seems to be implied by these media hacks.

Man causes volcano's to erupt, man controls earth axis tilt, man causes solar flares, man causing the ocean current to shift, man causes tectonic plate shifts, Victims cause bad guys to get violent, women dress codes cause rapes, poverty causes people to steal, voting democrat causes senility ok so they get one right.

The title should be: “More people in the US believe in the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.”
Of course, all who believe in science believe in climate change. It is always changing. This world is ‘winding down like a clock.’
It is the MAN-MADE element of climate change that should be the debate and to what (if any) effect man has on the climate. Pouring billions of dollars into decreasing the impact of mankind on the climate is a big hole - with virtually no beneficial results.
Unless you are Al Gore.

every frigging summer they bring this crap up and then they disappear when we get the winter.

One would think that the idiots out there would have latched on to this crap by now but since we have a few millin who would still vote for bozo the clown then nothing surprises me.

Agenda 21 can’t be implemented unless the Sheeple are terrorized by the boogeyman of man-made global warming. The Hoax is a prerequisite to the Soros’s United Nations take-over and control of Americans.

Agenda 21 will be used by your local governments:

The goals and means of Agenda 21 are sinister:

Local government representatives will fight kicking and screaming to install Agenda 21, and they don’t even know or care that they are handing cities and counties of the USA into UN control.

The climate changes daily with the seasons. If it did not cool down every evening (coinciding with the disappearance of the big fireball in the sky), the temperatures would more than double from morning to midnight...

And the seasons can experience periodic fluctuations of “average”, above “normal”, and below “normal” rainfall annually.

It’s a power grab (and for some like Pope Al Gore, a money grab).

This is earth’s cycles. There has been cooling and heating like forever.
Man needs to leave nature alone, esp. those damn dimwit democRATS—they ruin everything they touch.

However having said that, I do feel a little more warming every summer.
Not winter, just 100+ summers.

Reports have it that parts of South America and Australia are,at this moment.experiencing record cold winters.

That,too,must be global warming.

Summer fires in Colorado (and Utah,Arizona,California) never happened before 100 years ago? Hurricanes in June have never occurred in the Carribean before 100 years ago?

There were 10 days of temperatures above 90 °F (32 °C) with 90 percent humidity. The temperatures did not drop at night. It caused more deaths (1,500+) than the 1863 New York City draft riots or the 1871 Great Chicago Fire.

Hmmm, is this an indicator of Global Warming? Considering this was a description of the US East Coast Heat Wave of 1896, it probably predates the global fossil fuel usage.

This is just the anecdotal musing of one NOAA official. Wasn’t based on any poll data. Just her gut feeling, apparently.

I hadn't read the article till I saw your comment. Unbelievable! The AP is shameless.

Coldest July 4th in Phoenix in 100 years

Met Office – No warming in the past 15 years

Even the deserts can’t get to their normal highs

Warmth during summer is not a problem. Snow during the summer is a problem.

Anchorage still shoveling snow after record year

Why democracy is so dangerous. The people cannot remember yesterday and weathermen cannot predict tomorrow.
