And I mean literally. In this new poll, the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found belief in man-made global warming is plummeting.
This is a welcome development. And we expect the trend away from belief in warming to continue. As we wrote here, the earth has been in a cooling trend for about 10 years now, and recent measurements that show cooling in the oceans suggest that this trend is likely to continue for 30-40 years.
Most Americans are finding it harder to believe in global warming in the face of more and more record low temperatures and increased record snow falls. A triumph of common sense over hyped-up junk science. The poll did not show reduced support for the cap-and-trade tax policies that would result in huge increases in energy prices. We expect that as belief in warming continues to disintegrate, the support for cap-and-tax will fall with it.
