The article proves that belief in climate change is irrational behavior.

What's your point?

you're only reading the half you want to believe. (interesting... I wonder where that could come from).

The article cites a study which essentially shows that belief and DISBELIEF by the general public is strongly influenced by what they are actually feeling at that moment.

General public belief or disbelief in something really has nothing to do with whether it is or will actually happen. Reminds me of all the times I have to hear in the middle of winter "see, there's no such thing as global warming"

All those cavemen burning their sabertooth hides cause the global warming.

The study cited that since 2008 public belief had dropped or "stayed low". In other words, it's been pretty quiet and the number of weather zealots from either side has remained relatively flat.

Until someone kicks out the old man and turns up the thermostat.
THEN they suddenly believe in global warming.

This is how algore recruited all his disciples.
It's why we have legislation and cap and trade and failed federal investments and Obama banning edison's incandescent for the more energy efficient CFL which are all made in China and contain mercury.

The point is that people's perception of global warming (hell, probably of most things) is so retardedly short sighted most of the time that they can't even begin to comprehend an issue.

Seriously, if a group of people is more likely to believe global warming/climate change is real simply because they're in a warm room. Or conversely, if they're in an air conditioned room, disagree.... then they shouldn't be allowed to voice an opinion or vote on the matter.

I don't care about the policies/mandates. Those are amusing at best, an irritant at worst.

The fact that you only look at this from one side is interesting (ie, everything is fine if no one believes in climate change). You're taking a very skewed look at it (ie, "disciples", "zealots") Shouldn't you be just as concerned that the general public is so willing to make a decision IN EITHER DIRECTION without any bearing on facts?

I think the problem you're having is most people don't believe the same 'facts' as you do Vic... 😟

Drafter... we have already established you don't even understand the most basic premise behind "facts". Go elsewhere while the big boys play.

The study doesn't suggest, nor do I state, that "no one believes in climate change".
It said that there was only a slight drop or very little movement between those that believe and those that didn't.
Read it again. I think you're missing the point.

But people are stupid and have short attention spans.
That is why the OBAMAPHONE is such a disgrace.
And it's also why

did you mean to finish this?

Same as it ever was.


Victor talking about how stupid people are.

A great deal of people may have changed their minds after seeing how many studies were falsified, and alarmists ringing bells that are making them money.
