In its article "
Warming at the Bottom", Investor's Business Daily points out concerning global warming, that a new Pew Research poll finds "only 30% feel President Obama should focus on it". IBD concludes that "the public has evaluated the warnings — and found them wanting."
I believe that savvy politicians on the left also believe the evidence to be wanting but that, since they've produced a generation of people who are (as they once accused conservatives of being) "ignorant and easily led", they want to keep hold of, for as long as possible, an issue that can help them move toward their real goal - socialism.
The left doesn't really care a wit about "saving the earth", knows it can't be done, and that it in fact doesn't need to be done. As with all radical leftists, the world they do want to "save" is the world of human societal organization and they see "thinking green" as a vehicle for hoodwinking the masses into going along with the draconian measures required to achieve their utopian dreams.
"Don't look at that man behind the curtain (tinkering with your freedoms) - Look at me, the Great Obama, saving the rainforest!"
This poll gives us a glimmer of hope that the masses may be close to snapping out of the hynotist's trance.
