Hmm.  Could this have anything to do with the sun?  It has been unusually quiet.  No, of course not.  The sun has a minimal effect on the climate, which is driven primarily by human greed.

It’s no wonder that people are starting to get tired of all the hype.  From Newsmax:

Only 1 in 4 Americans believes global warming is the biggest environmental challenge facing the world, a new poll reveals.

 

 

The ABC News/Planet Green/Stanford University survey found that public concern over the global warming issue has diminished over the past year.

 

 

Fewer than half of the poll’s respondents, 47 percent, think global warming is an important issue to them personally, down from 52 percent in April 2007.

 

 

While 80 percent believe the earth is warming, that figure is down four percentage points from last year.
