Dear Barack Obama & David Cameron,
Any Democrat, Tory or any other politicians who are still extolling the virtues of Global warming, seeing the flop of Naomi Oreskes’s hatefest film: “Merchants of Doubt” will now know that they have been very mistaken: the public are no longer swallowing the global warming lies!
Oh dear!
What a shame you didn’t listen to us sceptics when you had the chance to change your policies! What a shame you continued listening to those public sector zealots obsessed with the idea that the private sector fossil fuel economy that gave our nations are wealth is evil. What a shame you gullibly fell for the lies from those so obsessed with their hatred for industry and “evil” icon: CO2, that they labelled this essential plant food as a pollutant.
Did it never occur to you that you were being led to attack vast constituencies of your own voters?
This is what happens to you politicians when you get into power and stuck inside the political bubble. You become surrounded by sycophants telling “the emperor” that some transparently awful policy is just what the public want. And they lie to you about “deniers” telling you these “deniers” are evil and that “deniers” have no understanding of the science. And you fell for these lies?
This is what real sceptics, those real flesh sceptics who vote actually think:
Views of online sceptics showing that they overwhelmingly support the basic science but disagree on where it will cause catastrophic change.
And whilst you have been in the political bubble, this is what has really been happening to global temperatures as CO2 rose and plants worldwide have flourished from rising CO2:
CO2 has continued to rise whilst not a single dataset has shown even the lowest warming predicted by the public-sector alarmists of the IPCC
My Apology to Obama & Cameron
Maybe I should apologise to you: because if I had been prepared to work for free for months last year after the survey of 4-5000 sceptics; if had been prepared to read through the hate filled papers of academics about us sceptics; if I had been prepared to go through the ritual humiliation of peer review by those same academics who so hate us from the private sector; if I had then put in vast efforts of time and money to try to force you to listen, … then perhaps, I might just have been able to warn you about the results of the survey of sceptics.
Background of sceptics = overwhelmingly private. Background of IPCC = overwhelmingly public. That’s the explanation for the different views!
You would have known that we sceptics are really quite a sane sensible well qualified bunch, that we are no different from the “scientists” in the public sector except we understand the real economy and they don’t. You would have known sceptics are on the whole just as competent (or arguably more) to judge so called “Global warming” as those academics. You might have understood that sceptics are really very well respected members of society who individually are part of the key opinion group on science.
In short, it was totally daft for you politician to ignore us! Yet you did!
And if you had known that, you wouldn’t now be stuck with this political poison.
So, sorry Obama, sorry Cameron, sorry to the hate-mongers like Kerry, sorry to the gullible idiots like Milliband. Sorry Jo Swinson my own MP. Sorry … to every politician who were so keen to jump on the bandwagon of hate directed against vast swathes or your own electorates.
To misquote one notorious politician:
“Go home to your constituencies and … prepare for humiliation.“

Great charts.
Looking at them confirms what I allready knew, that the warmists have embarked on a hige enterprise and forgot to take with them the group that normally gets stuff done. It’s the B Ark all over again.
Ah! A Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy reference – excellent. Absolutely right; one wonders if a survey of “Belivers” would be a mirror image of chart 3.
All but the scientist column. There’s a bit too much ‘they’re one of us’ going on.
