Just In Time For 'Earth Hour': Americans Care Less Than Ever About Globaloney

Gallup has issued two polls in the past couple of weeks showing that the reality is breaking through the non-stop, years-long propaganda blitz known properly known as the Great Global Warming Hoax:

  • On March 11, the pollster told us that a record-high 41% now say it is media coverage on the topic is exaggerated.
  • On March 19, we were informed that "For the first time in Gallup's 25-year history of asking Americans about the trade-off between environmental protection and economic growth, a majority of Americans say economic growth should be given the priority, even if the environment suffers to some extent." And it's a 51-42 rout.
Now there's a third. Yesterday, Gallup told us that not only is globaloney increasing not believed and not more important than economic growth, it's the least important environmental issue we face. You have to look past its "clever" title and subhead to get to what should be the lede, but the glum news for Saturday's Earth Hour participants:

"global warming is clearly the environmental issue of least concern. In fact, global warming is the only issue for which more Americans say they have little to no concern than say they have a great deal of concern."

Media attention has been, as one would expect, virtually nil.

A New York Times advanced search on "Gallup environment" (not in quotes) shows no primary results, only references to Times blogs on the right of the results. A Google News search on "Gallup warming" (again not in quotes) for March 25-26 comes back with four results. Only two besides the Gallup poll itself were directly relevant.

Americans' growing resistance to threatened globaloney mandates and Europeans' flat-out refusal to go along with them (a possible topic for another post, if it can be kept shorter than a book; the tide of European anti-globaloney news is almost overwhelming**) continue to be among the most under-reported stories of the year.

[**That's key: do not believe the EU government/media's contention that America is somehow a hold out: most of the EU nations citizens are ahead of us in admitting that the Green Emperor has no cloths (as you'll note by the origin of most climate-reality pieces coming to the fore).
