Well it looks like a backlash against green is upon us just in time for St. Patrick's Day Earth Day. According to a new Gallup Poll, a growing number of Americans think global warming is exaggerated.

Today, a record-breaking 41 percent of Americans believe the news hypes up the seriousness of global warming, compared to 28 percent who think the media underestimates the threat. And 29 percent of those surveyed think global warming is correctly portrayed.

Overall it looks like the sense of urgency surrounding global warming is melting away. So pretend you're Goldilocks' three (polar) bears — is news coverage of global warming too hot, too cold, or juuuuust right?
