WaPo reports public faith in AGW is declining tho still high. What's amazing is that it is declining in the teeth of a media culture that still reports AGW as if it were as certain as the sun rising tomorrow. The typical GW story framework is "here are some bad effects that will arrive when GW strikes in full force in twenty years" The percentage of Americans who believe global warming is happening has dipped from 80 to 72 percent in the past year, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, even as a majority still support a national cap on greenhouse gas emissions. The poll's findings -- which also show 55 percent of respondents believe the United States should curb its carbon output even if major developing nations such as China and India do less -- suggest an increasing political polarization around the issue, just as the Obama administration and congressional Democrats are intensifying efforts to pass climate legislation and broker an international global warming pact. washingtonpost.com
