Poll: Most Americans Believe 'Climate Change' Is Horsepuckey
When you're getting lectured on climate change by douchebag hypocrites like Leonardo DiCaprio, skepticism makes perfect sense.

(CNSNews.com) ‐ Nearly three-quarters of Americans don’t trust that there is a large "scientific consensus" amongst climate scientists on human behavior being the cause of climate change, according to an in-depth survey on "the politics of climate" released Tuesday by Pew Research Center.

According to the survey, only 27 percent of Americans agree that "almost all" climate scientists say that human behavior is mostly responsible for climate change, while 35 percent say that "more than half" of climate scientists agree on this. An additional 35 percent of those surveyed say that fewer than half (20%) or almost no (15%) climate scientists believe that human behavior is the main contributing factor in climate change.

Pew contrasted this to the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which "stated in the forward to its 2013 report, ’the science now shows with 95 percent certainty that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century.’"

When you omit the primary heat source of the planet from your climate models, as the IPCC has done, conformist 'scientists' dependent on government grants will reach this conclusion.

#1 Americans are smarter than I gave them credit for. Apparently the public school indoctrination programs aren't working as well as the overlords hoped.

#2 Americans are smarter than I gave them credit for.

Not if the current presidential polls are to be believed.

#3ʉ۪thescience now shows with 95 percent certainty

This is preying on people's ignorance of science.

95% certainty in science means you just barely found something, and besides this an invented fake number. No measurements at all went into it.

#4 And anyway, in science, majority is always wrong.
