The latest ABC News/Planet Green/Stanford University poll on "global warming" suggests more Americans are beginning to understand they are being manipulated by one of the biggest hoaxes in the history of the world.

Though one must read carefully between the lines of this survey conducted by three entities entirely committed to perpetuating the fraud, it's clear fewer Americans are buying in to the notion that the world is on the precipice of man-made, catastrophic climate change.

For starters, clear majorities support offshore oil drilling (63 percent) in currently restricted waters and production in off-limits wilderness areas (55 percent).

Next, 64 percent rate "finding new energy sources" more important than improving conservation – which is not good news for Barack Obama's energy plan of inflating tires and getting more tune-ups.

Though 80 percent of Americans believe global warming is happening, that number is down 5 percent from 2006. And because the highly subjective pollsters do not make any distinction between mere cyclical, naturally occurring global warming and the man-made, catastrophic variety, it's actually a puzzlement the number is so low.

Keep in mind the way Americans have been hammered relentlessly, night and day, in schools and universities, in the news media, in entertainment programming, Madison Avenue, not to mention both major presidential campaigns as well as the current president that man-made, catastrophic global warming is a fact.

Fewer Americans consider themselves environmentalists than in polls dating back to 1989 – suggesting the activists may have overreached and overextended in their zealotry.

Businesses and government are rated equally in trust to reduce global warming among those who believe in it.

Only 25 percent of Americans identify global warming as the single biggest environmental problem in the world. That is simply astonishing given the overwhelming amount of one-sided information that has been spoon-fed to the public by elitists trying to manipulate the general populace into giving up their rights and emptying their pocketbooks. That percentage, by the way, is down 8 points from last year.

There's another 8 percent drop in the number of Americans who think global warming is caused mainly by man's activity. Only 47 percent say global warming is important to them personally, a drop of 5 percent.

About half of Americans distrust scientists – with good reason given the way so many have lined up like lemmings to get government grants to affirm the hoax. Also interesting is that 57 percent recognize there's "a lot of disagreement" among scientists about whether the threat is real.

If you saw or read the report of this poll on ABC, you would get a vastly different spin on the facts than you get here. However, I am merely reporting the same results through glasses not tinted green.

It's mostly good news.

But there is still reason to be alarmed by the high percentage of Americans who have been duped into believing, first, there is a crisis and, second, that the solution lies with Big Government doing things it is not authorized to do by the Constitution.

Several times in the conduct of this poll, respondents are "pushed" to change their answers:

• The pollsters ask if the government should institute a cap and trade system to limit so-called "greenhouse gases" companies can emit. When only 59 percent like this idea based on bad science and unconstitutional politics, they are instructed that a similar system worked to curb acid rain emissions. The number jumps to 74 percent approving. Yet, if it worked so well, why is the man who invented the term "acid rain" in the 1960s, professor Gene Likens, now saying the crisis is reaching a tipping point toward disaster?
  
  
• When pollsters are unimpressed with the number of people blaming man for global warming, they insist those who blame man and nature equally take a stand. That inflates the number of those who blame man more.

Even the pollsters are in the global warming manipulation business!

But the good news is more Americans – yet not nearly enough – are seeing through the smokescreen.
