Presenting….America’s deteriorating atmosphere!

** There is little question that the current economic crisis poses a significant challenge for the environmental movement in this country. Previous Gallup research has shown that concern about global warming has diminished this year, and the research reviewed here shows clearly that Americans are more willing than ever to forgo protection of the environment if needed in order to ensure economic growth or the production of energy. With the economy as bad as it has been in recent memory, Americans’ preferences have swung even more strongly in the direction of the economy over the environment. Gallup **
Hmmmthat would explain this item:
** The problem with global warming, some environmentalists believe, is global warming. The term turns people off, fostering images of shaggy-haired liberals, economic sacrifice and complex scientific disputes, according to extensive polling and focus group sessions conducted by ecoAmerica, a nonprofit environmental marketing and messaging firm in Washington. Instead of grim warnings about global warming, the firm advises, talk about our deteriorating atmosphere. – NYT **
As with “terrorist attacks” and man caused disasters this would be just another liberal rose by any other name.
