Most of the world now denies the holocaust

[Mr. Perfect]

As we all know, denying MMGW is not any different than denying the holocaust, and the MMGW deniers/protocols of the elders of zion for MMGW people, the oil companies with their overwhelming deluge of denialist literature (haven't you noticed that? You can't turn on a TV, radio, or click on an internet link without getting some ad denying global warming. It is truly amazing. Please post your favorite denialist media piece in this thread, just for fun).

Most of the human race does not see global warming as a serious threat, according to a Gallup poll released last week that surveyed individuals in 111 countries.

Respondents were asked: “How serious of a threat is global warming to you and your family?” They were given the options of anwering: not at all serious, not very serious, somewhat serious or very serious.

Worldwide, only 42 percent told Gallup they believed global warming was either a “somewhat serious” or “very serious” threat. Gallup did not publish the separate percentages for each answer.

In the United States, 53 percent said they believed global warming was a “somewhat serious” or “very serious” threat to themselves and their families. That was down from 63 percent in polling that Gallup did on the question in the United States in 2007 and 2008.

Of the 111 countries that Gallup polled, Greece ranked as No.1 for popular fear of global warming. In that southern European country 87 percent said global warming was a “somewhat serious” or “very serious” threat.

That was a far higher percentage than across the Mediterranean in Egypt, a desert nation, where only 18 percent said they believed global warming was a somewhat serious or very serious threat.

Somaliland ranked dead last—with only 10 percent of local residents saying global warming was a somewhat serious or very serious threat.

Yemen ranked second to last with 13 percent.

China, the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, ranked 105th out of 111 among the countries polled by Gallup. Only 21 percent of Chinese said they believed global warming is a somewhat serious or very serious threat to themselves or their families.

You know skywolfowitz, you absolutely took the words right out of my mouth. You hit the nail right on the head.

When the left began comparing "denying" MMGW with denying the holocaust I also found it to be a total non sequitur, a pathetic attempt to play on great tragedy just for the hell of it, and shameful to boot.

You absolutely hit it out of the park. Despite recent disagreements, we can certainly agree on this point. Amen brother.

The skepticism on the part of the global public may have something to do with the fact that after decades of histrionics of imminent MMGW doom,

many people are beginning to wonder that if MMGW is so bad and so imminent, then why are we all not already dead.

The analogy with the genocide(s) of WWII is obviously flawed as denying something that is predicted to occur in the future [a future which in the case of many flawed predictions is now the past]

is rather different than denying something that is documented to have occurred in the past.

MMGW is the threat of the future . . . and always will be.

Anyways, there is already a thread for this topic. Not clear to me what's so novel about this poll.
It does not invoke the "Holocaust denier" analogy and most people on the planet do not define themselves in terms of US politics.

So I guess Mr. Perfect is admitting to being a holocaust denier. Clever. And classy.
