Why America do not believe global warming?

Answer 1

First answer:

Because the supposed science keeps changing. In the 1970's they were trying to convince us we were all going into a new ice age. Several people made a lot of money on it before the theory was debunked. Then they came up with global warming and the hockey stick theory to show massive temp increases in the last decade. Turned out that wasn't true either although a bunch of people made a lot more money on the theory. Now they are calling it climate change.

If one looks at the earth cycles one can pretty quickly see what goes on. Is the earth warming? yes but, it is a natural cycle. You will notice also that when volcanic activity is high such as it was the last two years we also seem to have heavier snows in the winter.

So to answer your question....Americans do believe in global warming. Most of us just disagree with the idea that man is destroying the planet.

Second answer:

Most Americans (70%) recognize that global warming is occurring, and is predominantly driven by human activity. A smaller percent have been swayed by the Propaganda financed by the fossil fuel industry, which has enormous sums at its disposal for disinformation campaigns.

One typical example is the claim scientists make a lot of money on climate "scams." In reality most

climate scientists are tenured college professors who earn the same annual salary whether their findings are in agreement or not.

Another is the claim Michael Mann made a lot of money off his temperature chart. The truth is that he never made ANY money off it. Those folks who have made investments in carbon credits have made only a tiny fraction of the multibillion dollar quarterly profits raked in by big oil companies. But some oil companies have financed propaganda mills like the Heartland Institute, which successfully disseminates falsehoods regarding climate science, and undermines the efforts of researchers. Their achievement is largely responsible for American ignorance about and rejection of legitimate climate science.
