Fear of Global Warming is on the wane, according to an article in National Journal. The article tells of a recent survey by ABC News, Planet Green and Stanford University that found only 47 percent of Americans now consider global warming an important issue compared to 52 percent who thought so in April 2007.
According to an analysis by ABC News' Gary Langer, the drop in these numbers coincides with decreased media attention to climate change, in favor of the election and economy. "A database search finds 50 percent fewer news stories on global warming in the month before this poll was conducted, compared with the month before last year's survey," Langer wrote.
There we have it. The root cause of global warming is media hot air.
