It Seems that Democrats who "Worry Greatly" About Climate Change is up Only 4% in 25 Years

This is an interesting statistic according to this article.

Since 1989, there’s been no significant change in the public’s concern level over global warming. To put this in perspective, note that the most expensive public-relations campaign in history—one that includes most governmental agencies, a long list of welfare-sucking corporations, the public school system, the universities, an infinite parade of celebrities, think tanks, well-funded environmental groups and an entire major political party—has, over the past 25 years or so, increased the number of Democrats who “worry greatly” about global warming by a mere four percentage points.

This article goes on to try to figure out why climate change does not resonate even with Democrats. I agree that people might think that the climate is changing but they don't think it will be a calamity. In other words they figure that people can adapt if things get really bad.

All the fear-mongering is not paying off because people aren't really scared anymore. You add to this the fact that some predictions are wildly off like there being no summer polar ice caps by 2013 and people are skeptical. Not of climate change in general but of the remedies for it. Many environmentalists want drastic growth cuts and to keep the Chinese and Indians poor to stave off a calamity that might or might not happen. People seem to be erring on the side of not happening.
