GOP completely out of touch with US on global warming
by Chris in Paris
CNN ought to feel pretty ignorant for their recent Gore-bashing
"viewer feedback" article as well because according to their own poll,
Americans understand the problem and want to see action.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/20/warming.poll/index.html
The GOP may want to ignore the issue and even make fun of anyone who
sees reality on the problem, but to do so is to attack a broad
majority of the population.
Most Americans blame emissions from cars and industrial plants as the
primary cause of global warming and believe the United States should
reduce levels even if other countries don't, a survey shows.
Fifty-six percent of poll respondents said the phenomenon of global
warming has been proven, and can be largely blamed on human endeavors,
such as power plants and factories, according to the CNN/Opinion
Research Corp. poll.
In comparison, 21 percent of those surveyed claimed global warming
problems are caused either by natural changes or are unproven.
Sixty-six percent of Americans believe the United States should do
what it can to reduce global warming, even if other nations ignore it.
This compares with 52 percent of respondents who believed that way in
2001.

Republicans completely out of touch with American public on global
warming? Sure, as they are with just about every other major issue.

They are the American public you blithering moron. More than half the
freaking country is Republican or votes Republican. And what was even
the point of this article? A nice, broad bandwagon appeal? Either
make a rational case or shut up.
