New US Poll Finds Majority Of Both Political Parties Want Industry Limits on Greenhouse Emissions

The other key Zogby poll finding was that “Nearly three of every four – 74% – are more convinced today that global warming is a reality than they were two years ago,…The survey, sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation, was conducted Aug. 11–16, and included 1,018 respondents”. The ‘denialists’ (our term) got profiled thusly: “Those who are more likely than others to be less convinced that global warming is happening include Republicans (39%), conservatives (33%), very conservatives (58%), Born-again Christians (31%), and people with annual household income of $50,000-$74,999 (31%)”. We think the poll would have provided more useful insights if it had included some additional categories such as Petroleum Geologist or Mining Engineer, and did a sub-set poll of persons working within 50 miles of the District of Columbia.

Of course. I find people are not as stupid as some politicians would like to think we are. It’s just another argument for public financing of campaigns. These “denialists” would not be so misinformed by their politician of choice who have a financial interest in misleading them. (I know that’s off topic, but not really)
too funny. great post.
