Americans’ concern about several major environmental threats has eased after increasing last year. As in the past, Americans express the greatest worry about pollution of drinking water, and the least about global warming or climate change.

Despite ups and downs from year to year in the percentage worried about the various issues, the rank order of the environmental problems has remained fairly consistent over the decades. Americans express greater concern over more proximate threats — including pollution of drinking water, as well as pollution of rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and air pollution — than they do about longer-term threats such as global warming, the loss of rain forests, and plant and animal extinction.

If you are worried about keeping food on the table and keeping/getting a job, environmental concerns languish.

Near as I can tell, it is ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! at the bottom of the concern list; that has not stopped, nor will it ever stop the media from yapping about it all day every day. And in the end, they WILL win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many Americans were in favor of faggot marriage 20 years ago? 20 years of non-stop faggot promoting by the MSM has brought us to where we are now.

20 more years of enviro crap will have us living in caves, guaranteed!!!

I am certain caves would be off limits by then. We would be encroaching on the bats and salamanders.

Great graphic. Never hesitate for even a moment when considering whether or not to re-post it.

If you want to see a climate warming cultist sputter and die, ask him what should be the optimum temperature for Earth.

Chinese know the a mini ice age is returning. Chinese dynasties have collapsed when mini ice ages occur. They have been acquiring farmland closer to the equator in recent years. They play the long game because they are the long game. The current US is nothing but a corrupt massively indebted bananna republic that will be gone soon.

I tell the locals that if they thought this past winter was bad, wait until you experience the next thirty or forty...tweaks the hell out of them.

When the water rises on Alcatraz, Galveston, Ellis island, Diamond Head, Falkland Islands, I’ll be concerned. Until then shut the F up!!

Even more amusing, I believe that the consensus is that Diamond head was underwater when it erupted.

100% of global warming models were wrong.

Jam that down their throats.

Reminds me of one of those Jehova Witness fliers I found stuck in my door.
They had got on the enviro wagon and were bewhailing that we were destroying the mountains and the mountain lions had no place to live...
Sheesh? Had one practically in my dooryard a couple of years ago.
