Americans appropriately skeptical of climate scientists

.... Interestingly, despite the reluctance of so-called Mainstream Media to cover this story, the American people seem to understand that climate scientists have been engaging in chicanery. Pollster Scott Rasmussen reports that 52% of Americans believe there is significant disagreement among scientists on global warming, while only 25% believe most scientists agree. A bigger majority, 59%, say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data, with 35% saying it’s very likely; only 26% say it’s very or somewhat unlikely. True, 46% say global warming is a major problem, while 36% disagree. But when asked what should be the bigger priority for national leaders, 71% say stimulating the economy to create jobs and only 15% say stopping global warming to save the environment.
