Many Feel Global Warming is Exaggerated
A recent poll released by Gallup showed that a high percentage of Americans feel that global warming is “exaggerated” when portrayed in the news. Around 41% of Americans feel that the media is exaggerating the effects that we have on global warming as compared to 28% who feel the opposite. These numbers are up from the last time they did this poll in 2006.
What is your opinion of this poll?
How do you feel that the poll reflects the general public and what position would take in this poll? Well I decided to put together my own poll to see how my readers feel about this issue.

I recently heard someone suggest we start calling it “climate change” because it more accurately reflects what is happening. I wonder if the poller had used “climate change” if the results would have been different?
I wanted to vote on this issue and say that I feel that global warming is in fact real and the media needs to continue to inform the public on the issue. Whether or not we are in fact the true cause of global warming, that is a different issue.
Global warming is something that is going on and is felt by almost every part of the country. I am not sure 100% as to whether or not every action we take actually heavily contributes to global warming. Some of the global warming we are currently facing could be occurring naturally and we only have a small effect on how much the temperature changes. There have been several stories showing that global warming is happening to more planets than just our including mars: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html.
Regardless of whether we have a huge effect on global warming, it still should be our main priority to cut back on our current wasteful ways. We have to start living sustainable lifestyles more for the environment, our health and to have a planet for future generations to enjoy.
It is not exaggerated. News and reports show evidence that global warming is a serious problem. Glaciers will no longer exist as the earth gets hotter and hotter. It is slowly happening, but the problem is not exaggerated.
