I'm just going to post this link....you can pretty much get 1 in 4 Americans to believe anything. 26% percent thought the sun goes around the earth, slightly edging out the 16% who didn't think the center of the earth was hot...and many more depressing facts about what a portion of America believes.

1 In 4 Americans Thinks The Sun Goes Around The Earth, Survey Says

Twenty-six percent in a survey of 2,200 people conducted in 2012 answered that the Sun revolves around the Earth, and fewer than half correctly answered a question about human origins.

Capt Chris McVeigh - And of course Climate Change and the lack of consensus means you are enlightened and that these trends may be incidental to time, entropy and other factors. But what do I, I have only been a Meteorologist for around 30 years.

@SSG Scott Williams - The link that was provided mentioned 'Climate Change' with the inference being that those who don't ascribe to the notion must not know science. As Per Capt Chris McVeigh above.

SSgt John Johnston You are correct, the divide is between Big Daddy Government (Big government) and We the (self reliant) People. I suspect that if more Americans took responsibility for their own personal welfare that they would be far more successful at fixing our problems than Big Government throwing tons of money at useless things and the strangling regulation of free expression and the old pioneer spirit.
