Most Brits Doubt Humans are Causing Climate Change

Government policy wonks and their allies on the left just hate it when regular people refuse to believe their nonsense. They believe we should follow them blindly, led around like a flock of innocent, trusting sheep, all the while bleating bromides like "climate change", "diversity", or "four legs good, two legs bad".

The entire idea of democracy was that governments exist with the consent of the governed. We are seeing that idea becoming increasingly turned on its head in both Europe and North America. There is a group that consider themselves entitled to run the government and tell the rest of us what we are supposed to do and think. They don't care what private citizens think and are sometimes quite frank about their disdain for our opinions. Recent examples of such asinine elitism include the attempts to force "comprehensive immigration reform" on the American people, even though most of us do not want to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Another example is the attempt to force the "Lisbon Treaty" on the Europeans, without ever asking any of them if they want it (except the Irish who rejected it.).

About one year ago, the despots in Washington were amazed at the popular uprising against the attempt to give amnesty to some 12 million illegal aliens. That showed how out of touch they are. They only pay attention to the leftist media and politically correct policy wonks. That is true even about the Republicans. Likewise, the goombas in Europe have been dismayed at the Irish rejection of the Lisbon Treaty, and become very flustered when asked to explain why they refuse to allow the citizens of the other 26 countries to vote on the treaty.

The notion that human CO2 emissions are causing 'climate change' is an article of faith among the chattering classes. And thus they are shocked and dismayed when a majority of ordinary blokes and sheilas don't fall for their religion, as shown by a recent poll taken by the Guardian among people in the UK:

The majority of the British public is still not convinced that climate change is caused by humans - and many others believe scientists are exaggerating the problem, according to an exclusive poll for The Observer.
The results have shocked campaigners who hoped that doubts would have been silenced by a report last year by more than 2,500 scientists for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which found a 90 per cent chance that humans were the main cause of climate change and warned that drastic action was needed to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The findings come just before the release of the government's long-awaited renewable energy strategy, which aims to cut the UK's greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent over the next 12 years.

These jackasses in places like London and Washington want to turn democracy on its head. Instead of the people telling the government what it should do, the tyrants are telling us what they are going to do and how we should feel about it. It is no surprise then, that we are seeing extensive restrictions on freedom of speech and the press in Canada and Europe. The USA will probably follow soon.
