Poll: US Belief in Global Warming Is Cooling
Americans seem to be cooling toward global warming.
Just 57 percent think there is solid evidence the world is getting warmer, down 20 points in just three years, a new poll says. And the share of people who believe pollution caused by humans is causing temperatures to rise has also taken a dip, even as the U.S. and world forums gear up for possible action against climate change.
In a poll of 1,500 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, released Thursday, the number of people saying there is strong scientific evidence that the Earth has gotten warmer over the past few decades is down from 71 percent in April of last year and from 77 percent when Pew started asking the question in 2006. The number of people who see the situation as a serious problem also has declined.
Also, from the video in the link, some guy wrote a book called "SuperFreakonomics"? Rick James lives on in the hearts of economists everywhere...
I'm aware that these kinds of polls are almost entirely controlled, but it's still interesting that just yesterday I was hoping that more people would wake up to the obvious scam of the Green movement.

Da Vinci Cubed?
TORONTO (NBC) -- Rubik's cubes and Leonardo da Vinci a strange combo? Not in Toronto where five people worked two months to recreate "The Last Supper" from Rubik's cubes.
Over 4,000 cubes were used to make an eight by 16-foot masterpiece.
The Guinness people are looking to see if it breaks any records.
A prominent Florida collector has acquired the artwork.
