The Goracle needs to ramp up his fear mongering machine.

The Obama administration will unveil the first-ever carbon pollution limits on existing power plants. Monday and according to a recent CBS News Poll, while most Americans express concern about global warming, many aren’t feeling a great sense of urgency about its impact.
The poll, conducted last month, found fewer than half of Americans (46 percent) think global warming is having a serious impact now. Another 31 percent don’t expect a serious impact until sometime in the future, and one in five doesn’t think global warming will have a serious impact at all.
Opinions on the seriousness of global warming have wavered little in recent years, but there are stark demographic differences on the issue. A majority of college graduates (60 percent) believe global warming is a problem that is having an effect right now, but that number drops to 40 percent among those without a college degree. Older Americans are less likely than those who are younger to think global warming’s impact is urgent. Politics plays a role as well: Democrats (65 percent) are more than twice as likely as Republicans (28 percent) to say global warming is causing an impact now.
