Today 48% feel planetary trends are the root cause of "Global Warming", versus only 34% a year ago.
The "Global Warming" mantra is used by state and national politicians to push for broader and stronger regulations and taxation related to carbon energy.
As the "conclusive" evidence on climate change is increasingly criticized by the scientific community, it is silly to restructure the economy and reduce living standards until to evidence is conclusive that such a restructuring is critical to America's well being.
By creating highly invasive and complicated tax regimes related to carbon energy, politicians are again pursuing a massive power grab to gain further control of American's economic lives.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out if the public continues to demand harder scientific evidence to accept "Global Warming" as a man-made problem.
Ultimately, personal freedom is only possible through economic freedom.

In our present era, only a few people cares about the environment. The vast majority tend only to focus themselves with the growing concern on the unemployment, technology, money, Bonnaroo 2010, parties, promotion and the likes. However, what they don't see that the environment and the economy goes hand in hand. Likewise, the technology development indeed also has a negative effect to Mother Nature.
