He needs to squeal louder in order to be heard in NH. From Fall 2012 through Spring 2013, 1,500 Granite Staters were asked the following question: "If the Arctic region becomes warmer in the future, do you think that will have major effects, minor effects or no effects on the weather where you live?" Here's the stunning result: 60 percent of respondents answered "major effects," and another 29 percent answered "minor effects"—leaving just 11 percent saying "no effects" or professing that they did not know. Overall, then, 89 percent of these New Hampshire respondents thought changes in the Arctic would reverberate far beyond that region, and would affect their weather in the mid-latitudes. motherjones.com

My conclusion from your comment. "My SIL says almost all of his friends researching AGW believe it is real. In fact I think he said all of them. " I would never hire your SIL. I would never ask you SIL about anything. There is zero science showing any causality between CO2 and the earth's temperature. Clearly you and your SIL do not comprehend that. Past ice core show overwhelmingly that CO2 levels followed temperature changes. The causality follows the simple concept that colder water can hold more CO2 than warmer water. Over long periods of the Earth's warming dissolved CO2 would escape from the oceans. Over long periods of cooling more CO2 would dissolve into the oceans. It not magic it is not complicated. But there is little hope that the believers in the catholic position on AGW will ever listen to the Galileo faction.
