Gallup poll shows global-warming fears losing steam

Or maybe the results from Gallup’s latest poll are all part of a natural cycle. Every seven years or so, the bottom appears to fall out of the global-warming market. In 2000, for instance, 72% of Gallup responders said they worried a great deal or fair amount about global warming, a peak result over the last 22 years Gallup has polled on the question. In 2004, that number plunged to 51%, after a relatively mild recession had people worrying more about their pocketbooks. In 2008, the number rose again to a decade-long peak of 66% as America searched for a President whose mere visage would force the oceans to retreat and the Earth to cool. (HotAir.com)
