Only 20% Think Debate About Global Warming Is Over

[green73]

Voters strongly believe the debate about global warming is not over yet and reject the decision by some news organizations to ban comments from those who deny that global warming is a problem.

Only 20% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the scientific debate about global warming is over, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Sixty-three percent (63%) disagree and say the debate about global warming is not over. Seventeen percent (17%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters think there is still significant disagreement within the scientific community over global warming, while 35% believe scientists generally agree on the subject.

The BBC has announced a new policy banning comments from those who deny global warming, a policy already practiced by the Los Angeles Times and several other media organizations. But 60% of voters oppose the decision by some news organizations to ban global warming skeptics. Only 19% favor such a ban, while slightly more (21%) are undecided.

Whether it is over or not they are going to push CO2 restrictions on us to better control us and further enslave us. They don't work for us.

So 80% think there will still be discussion and arguments on the issue. On the other hand, only 14% of those polled said that global warming/ climate change is not at all a serious problem.

More from the poll:

Consistent with earlier polling is the finding that 60% of voters consider global warming a serious problem, with 37% who describe it as a Very Serious one. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree and don’t believe global warming is that serious a problem, with 14% who say it is Not At All Serious.

Yep, most people are still well bamboozled. Good job gov't schools, fascist media.

So you have proof they are wrong?

Warmest temp ever recorded: Libya 1923
Warmest temp in US: 1936
Inconvenient Global Temperature Update:

Icebergs on the Great Lakes in June...

Record Ice in Antarctica...

Climategate...

blah blah blah

Two points in different parts of the world hardly indicate a global, long term trend. That is not scientific evidence that there is no global warming. 2012 was "only" the second warmest on record. (why only choose 17 years, nine months- an odd number? Because going longer would no longer support the conclusion the chart maker wanted).

I think it was posted in May 2014, the ending date, idiot.

Why haven't those records been broken with all this CO2 and this rapidly warming world?

every month must break a new record or else you don't call it global warming?

1923

1923

Not to mention that North America, as a whole, had it's coldest winter in 17 years.

NA is not the globe.

1923

And what do you say when 1923 record is broken? that it's settled? or what?

Why hasn't it been broken yet?

The telltale sign of a weak argument is censorship of the opposition.

 

[Lord Xar]

NA is not the globe.

So, where is it getting warmer?

And then...... "insert hot place" is not the globe.

Just regular earthly cyclic changes, but the sycophants use it to push their religion.

Scientific facts are not decided by opinion polls.

Considering they are a state appendage, it's even more disgraceful. Own a TV in Britain? You must fund this propaganda merchant.

Thanks for your much valued opinion.

So you have proof they are wrong?

The burden of proof is on the one making the positive claim which is that it exists. Pseudoscience such as global warming switches the burden of proof onto the skeptics while also ignoring the principle of falsifiability. Meaning that null studies should be sought instead of explaining it away or ignoring it.
