Perhaps the most significant finding: "Thirty-six percent (36%) believe that, most of the time, scientists’ research findings are motivated by a desire to advance their own careers. Only 32% say that they mostly rely on the best scientific evidence. Twenty-seven percent (27%) believe that political views of the scientists generally influence their work."

36% think scientists are crooked plus 27% believe they are bias = 63% doubt warming is as it is being pushed.

100% of Americans are being deliberately lied to by lobbyists for big oil.
Just like big tobacco put up disinformation about the effects of smoking for decades.

No shit. There are dozens of powerful special interest groups that are trying to fuck us over for their own good. Big oil wants money. The environmentalists have been hijacked by jews that play on people emotions and over hype decent science to consolidate power and pick winners in industry.
