Gallup Poll: Climate Change Not a Top Worry in U.S.

• – Majority of Americans (51%) worry ‘only a little’ or ‘not at all’ about global warming – 2014 Environmental concerns rank lowest in Gallup polling history

Why Failure thus far?

• A movement that had Al Gore – one of the most divisive political figures -- as the face of the movement, was bound to fail.

• A movement that utilized the scandal ridden United Nations – which is massively distrusted by the American people -- as the repository of science, was doomed to fail.

Dr. Judith Curry

• Q: 'If the skeptic/orthodox spectrum is a range from 1 (intense skeptic) to 10 (intensely IPCC orthodox), where on the scale would you put yourself

• (a) as at 2009• (b) as at 2014,• and why has there been a shift (if any)?

• 'In early 2009, I would have rated myself as 7; at this point I would rate myself as a 3.”

End Times: ‘Post-apocalyptic’ • Peace Prof. Michael Klare of Hampshire

College wrote in Salon Mag. 'If earth continues heating at its exponential rate, our post-apocalyptic fantasies could become everyday realities’

• 'We envision rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, freakish storms, hellish wildfires, and rising sea levels...food riots, mass starvation, state collapse, mass migrations, and conflicts of every sort, up to and including full-scale war, could prove even more disruptive and deadly...persistent drought and hunger will force millions of people to abandon their traditional lands and flee to the squalor of shantytowns'
