The latest polling shows that 55% of Americans no longer believe that humans are responsible for the earth's warming; that any warming is the result of either natural planetary factors or some "other than human" cause.

What's caused this growing awareness by Americans?
Certainly not the Establishment Media, which has under-reported the skeptic side of the argument for a decade now and that (here in America) has barely covered the East Anglia CRU email scandal that broke last November. That scandal, as you now know, revealed that the scientists promoting AGW had distorted data, suppressed dissent, and defied Freedom of Information Act requests in the UK.
It's now revealed U.S. scientists did the same here in America, with NASA stonewalling FOIA requests.
The news IS getting out in Anti-Establishment Media and, since Americans are paying more attention now to alternative sources of information, the narrative is falling apart... and deservedly so.
There have been skeptical scientists all along. They have been considered "Heretics" to the orthodoxy propagated by the pro-AGW scientists.
Most Americans haven't heard of their efforts, but they've been around for years. Check out this petition of over 30,000 scientists who have signed their name to their skepticism:
Global Warming Petition Project
Here is the "Purpose of the Petition":
The purpose of the Petition Project is to demonstrate that the claim of “settled science” and an overwhelming “consensus” in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming and consequent climatological damage is wrong. No such consensus or settled science exists. As indicated by the petition text and signatory list, a very large number of American scientists reject this hypothesis.

Go read the whole thing. Click on the links. Check out the numbers of highly qualified scientists who have put their names and reputations on the line to dissent from the "Establishment" view.
They've been derided and called "deniers" and anti-science.
Really? Anti-science? Check out these qualifications from the petition signers:
The current list of petition signers includes 9,029 PhD; 7,157 MS; 2,586 MD and DVM; and 12,714 BS or equivalent academic degrees. Most of the MD and DVM signers also have underlying degrees in basic science.
All of the listed signers have formal educations in fields of specialization that suitably qualify them to evaluate the research data related to the petition statement. Many of the signers currently work in climatological, meteorological, atmospheric, environmental, geophysical, astronomical, and biological fields directly involved in the climate change controversy.
Seems the pro-AGW "scientists' would rather shut down debate than engage other scientists.The actual anti-science people are those scientists who politicized science and used it in ways to promote an agenda.
Let me repeat, and emphasize...
If a scientist does NOT follow established science protocols, and then uses his unproven hypothesis to make unfounded claims, to promote an agenda, and to shut off dissenting scientists... he or she is anti-science.
Since I am a lover of science, I am disgusted by this corruption of science.
I'm happy to say I was a denier when denial wasn't cool, but...
... I actually prefer the term "Climate Realist".
