Global warming concern continues to wane in US and across Europe-Gallup Poll

Prince Charles might have to get a job some day.

4/20/11, "Fewer Americans, Europeans View Global Warming as a Threat," Gallup Poll

"In the U.S., a slim majority (53%) currently see it as a serious personal threat,
  • down from 63% in previous years.
Concern about global warming has also declined across western, southern, and eastern Europe, and in several cases, even
  • more precipitously than in the U.S.
In France, for example, the percentage saying global warming is a serious threat fell from 75% in 2007-2008 to 59% in 2010. In the United Kingdom, ground zero for the climate data-fixing scandal known as Climategate in 2009, the percentage dropped from 69% to 57% in the same period....
Gallup surveys in 111 countries in 2010 find Americans and Europeans feeling substantially less threatened by climate change than they did a few years ago, while more Latin Americans and sub-Saharan Africans see themselves at risk. "
