Very encouraging figures reported in today's NY times

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/27/washington/27poll.html?th&emc=th

But by far the best part of the article:

"A big majority, 75 percent, said recent weather had been stranger than usual, an increase of almost 10 percentage points from 1997. Of those who said the weather had turned weird, 43 percent attributed it to global warming and 15 percent to pollution or other environmental damage. Four percent cited the coming end of the world or biblical prophecy, and 2 percent blamed space junk."

Space junk???!!  Makes "biblical prophecy" sound totally rational.
