Talk about manipulated data. This poll is just like the the junk science that the warmers beleive in. This poll is way out of step of the other polls I've seen. Must have been a selected people poll. Lets see the Mellman Group, a Democratic firm. OH that tells it all.

I agree with J. R. Gordon above on his assessment of man's empact on global warming. I don't believe man can change the climate, but I believe everyone wants clean air, clean water, and better living conditions. That doesn't mean we are causing global warming, an idea that is a hoax, I believe, which has been perpetrated onto the world by a non-scientist trying to get headlines and picked up by those persons who want to control others' lives.

When those 77% of voters really want "to reduce global warming
emissions" and park their cars, turn off their furnaces, air conditioners, TV's and light bulbs, stop using products that must be transported by boat, train or truck, stop living in man-made homes, and live in Tee-Pees on the prairie, that will tell me they really believe what they say rather than continuing to be a gaggle of hypocritical sheepeople who can't find their way home without a GPS on the dashboard!!!!!

I don't buy in to the climate change hype, but I do, as every other human ought to, have concerns about clear air, clean water, minimizing human impact, etc.
I respond much better to discussions about bettering our mutual environment than I do about changes in our planet's climate that are well beyond any human ability. Do you really think we can prevent another ice age or the opposite?

Yes, I too support legislation to fight global warming. And I'm not talking about tomorrow; it should've already been done!!! AND since President O'Bama passed a bill to establish even greater mpg standards for the auto industry...that is exactly the motivation for us to begin working together on this very important issue.

To those who chose to doubt man's effect on climate change as miniscule, I refer them to how man has affected the oceans with pollution. Certainly there is no doubt that man has a very deliterios affect on the oceans so why would we think any less for the atmosphere. Furthermore there is increasing evidence to the extraordinary links between oceans and air. If man can affect the volume of oceans the volume of air cannot be ignored.

Global warming is the biggest scam ever perpetrated. Nothing more than a money and power grab by phony environmental groups and corrupt politicians.

Given that the Congress is never honest about what anything costs (if it had a clue), one might expect different poll results were those polled given the true cost of the proposed solutions. And, isn't a little arrogant to think that anything we do will have any material effect on climate change. Last I noticed, "we" aren't in charge of climate.

Gee -- whey will people ever learn -- the average guy on the street has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA of what the fact are about global warming -- WHY - -because the media has been working overtime to spread the propaganda about this crap.
Ask any INFORMED citizen if he/she want to pay over a thousand dollars a year FOR NOTHING and see what they say.
Even if one actually still believes in man causes global warming, what miniscule impact will WE have if we revert back to the stone age while China, India and the rest of the world charge full speed ahead to expand their economies with NO effort to reduce CO2?
My god -- when are we going to wake up in this country?

30,000 scientists? Bunk. Total bunk. Just one source of my comment-

It's the brainchild of one guy who the fossil fuels industry loves to fund and cite.
One of best well-written articles about how industry and political hacks helped fuel the crap that you spew can be found at http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2005/05/world-burns. Published 4 years ago but still very relevant.
If you have the wherewithal to look, every skeptic argument is debunked.
http://skepticalscience.com/
http://www.realclimate.org/ a page posted and maintained by REAL climate scientists, not the 30,000 bogus folks you and the rest of the "head in the sand" group often cite.
Again, talk to a real climate scientist. Or someone who lives on the north slope. Get the real facts on what's actually going on. Yea, I've looked at both sides in depth for years. I wish you were right. I really do. do you think I want to leave this mess to my grandkids?
