Bad news for Nobel laureate Al Gore and his not-too-merry band of tree huggers. Rasmussen Reports has released the results of its latest opinion poll, and for the first time, a majority (51%) of Americans are not buying into the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) myth:   

Forty-four percent (44%) of U.S. voters now say long-term planetary trends are the cause of global warming, compared to 41% who blame it on human activity.

Seven percent (7%) attribute global warming to some other reason, and nine percent (9%) are unsure in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

The percentage who believe that global warming is the result of long term cyclical warming and cooling of the earth has jumped ten points since Rasmussen last polled on the issue:

In April of last year, 47% of Americans blamed human activity versus 34% who viewed long-term planetary trends as the culprit.
