US voters shift on global warming

CNSNews.com reports that has been “a significant shift” in US voters’ attitudes to global warming.

American voters are losing faith in the theory that human activity is causing global warming, a Rasmussen poll released Monday says.

“The poll asked 1,000 likely voters whether global warming was “caused primarily by human activity or by long term planetary trends.” Only 41 percent said it was human activity, while 44 percent said it was long-term planetary trends. Seven percent said it was “some other reason,” and nine percent said they were not sure.

“This is a significant shift from a poll conducted last April in which 47 percent said human activity caused global warming and only 34 percent said long term planetary trends caused it,” said Matt Cover for CNSNews.com.
