An announcement this week from an environmental group claims that “about 80 percent of people in both red and blue districts believe that global warming is real and that we should be doing more to fight it.” Other recent polls by Quinnipiac, NBC/Wall Street Journal, and ABC/Washington Post also claim to show a highly engaged public wanting the government to reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming.
But a new Pittsburgh Post-Gazette/iMediaEthics poll suggests a much less involved public, with only one in five Americans following the issue very closely, and about half not caring whether the government takes action or not. CONT.
