    Lets see if yob has the intelligence to answer the very simple poll he produced with dishonestly ticking all the boxes such as Yob claims humans cause climate change and also in the same sentence claims humans do not cause climate change and then yob says his % is also from do not know and also not sure, also the natural changes in the environment.

    Two of the polls % suggest human is the cause of climate change which one said 50/50 humans and natural environment but still means humans are mostly responsible for climate change "CO2" = 61%

    yob your options in the poll you posted are "natural changes in the environment" that is 8% or "climate change not happening at all" which is %22 or you "do not know" which is 1% or "not sure" which is 8%.

    It seems you do not know which you would then be the "DO NOT KNOW" = 1% huge minority

    yob you have worded the polls incorrectly as normal to be dishonest.

    The polls read climate change is caused by humans or caused equally by humans and changes in the environment, meaning that is a 61% rating the polls you posted saying human are causing climate change "CO2"

    I believe you come under the "I DO NOT KNOW" = 1% = the huge minority

    Poll Finds Strong Majority Of Americans Support An International Climate Agreement

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/30/us-climate-agreement_n_6972434.html

    WASHINGTON -- A new poll finds an overwhelming majority of Americans support an international agreement to cut planet-warming emissions.

    The poll found 72 percent of likely 2016 voters said they support the United States signing on to an international agreement on climate change.

    Sixty-five percent of respondents said they thought the United States “should take the lead and make meaningful reductions in its carbon emissions and other gases that may cause global warming.” Even a majority of Republican respondents -- 52 percent –- expressed support for the U.S. joining an international agreement on climate change. A much stronger percentage of Democrats, at 88 percent, supported it, as did 73 percent of independents.

    A poll for two liberal organizations comes out in favor of the liberal agenda.
    Was there hanging chads? :D
    How many recounts until they were happy with the numbers?

    Denialists are driven by a range of motivations. For some it is greed, lured by the corporate largesse of the oil and tobacco industries. For others it is ideology or faith, causing them to reject anything incompatible with their fundamental beliefs. Finally there is eccentricity and idiosyncrasy,

    Does the Earth's Magnetic Field Influence Climate?


    "Magnetism has seldom been invoked, and evidence for connections between climate and magnetic field variations have received little attention."

    At least they're asking the question.

    WOW! UK power stations slash CO2 emissions 23% in just two years

    http://www.treehugger.com/renewable...ns-slash-co2-emissions-23-just-two-years.html

    Britain pledged to phase out coal by 2025.
    And most of the UK's major cities are aiming for 100% clean energy (not just electricity!) by 2050.

    Each of these stories, by themselves, is a pretty big deal. Taken together, they suggest that the transition to a low (or at least lower) carbon economy is well under way. Take this recent headline from Business Green as another case in point: The UK's power sector cut CO2 emissions 23% from electricity generation in just two years. The government is also predicting that these trends are set to continue.

    I have absolutely no problem with people anywhere, voluntarily following the dictates of their conscience, as long as they don't try to force me, or others, to obey their dictates.

    I don't mind our coal reserves being reserved further into the future.

    Live and let live, freedom of choice for all, I say.

    But I will defend my freedom and beliefs.
    I expect no less of others.
    Best we all avoid situations where it's one or the other, cause you can guess which side I bet my money on.
    For the few that have closed their minds and can't make rational guesses, Freedom will triumph over tyranny.

    The coal ain't going anywhere.
    It will be there for many future generations to use as needed.
