Are the climate deniers becoming less shrill or is that my imagination?

Does anyone know of a study which compares % of population who deny man-made climate change compared to those accept its reality over the past few years??

1. I have noticed that a couple of deniers that I work with have not used their

"Where's your global warming now?" challenge this winter. Our temps have reached the 60's and 70's in January and we've only had one light dusting of snow all season. This follows a summer where we experienced the highest temperature ever recorded for our area (115 F). I don't know if they are starting to believe, but they certainly aren't making much noise.

2. I found some data . . .

From Wikipedia:

"A poll in 2009 regarding the issue of whether "some scientists have falsified research data to support their own theories and beliefs about global warming" showed that 59% of Americans believed it "at least somewhat likely", of which 35% believed it is 'very likely.'"

". . . as recently as 2006 only one third of Americans considered human activity to play a major role in climate change; 64% believed that scientists disagreed about it "a lot." A 2007 Newsweek poll found these numbers were declining, although majorities of Americans still believed neither that scientists agree climate change is taking place, nor that scientists agree climate change is caused by human activity, nor that climate change has yet had noticeable effect."

3. In my experience they have stopped the outright denial

They just don't want to hear about "personal responsibility".
Unless of course it has to do with poor people & food stamps.
