Bad news for environmental extremists.  Despite control of the government and media, the alarmists are losing the battle for public support.  Reports Rasmussen Reports:

The new survey also finds that 39% of voters believe global warming is caused by human activity, up from 34% in April. However, 44% say long-term planetary trends are most to blame for global warming. Last month, 48% cited this reason.

Despite the rise in voters who say human activity is to blame, the overall results represent a complete reversal from a year ago, when 47% blamed human activity and only 34% blamed planetary trends.

Democratic congressmen from blue collar districts should think very hard before they vote to wreck the economy with Waxman-Markey or anything similar.
