Americans often tell pollsters they want to see the government “do something” about global warming and then Congress draws up costly new proposals that would seriously impede economic growth in the US. When Americans are asked what costs they are willing to bear, and for what actual benefit for the environment, support “to do something” on global warming evaporates. A new poll by the National Center for Public Policy Research asked Americans how much they would be willing to pay for a gallon of gasoline in order to reduce carbon emissions. 48% said they were not willing to pay a single cent more and only 18% would pay the more than 50 cents that some plans in Congress would enforce.
Furthermore, when told that ending emissions from passenger vehicles all together would only reduce world wide greenhouse gases emissions by fractions of a percentage point, 58% of Americans said they were less likely to support action on global warming.
very detailed and green and i will try to be much more green then before thank you!!!!!
In lieu of taxing oil,coal,and natural gas; perhaps congress should tax the kool-aid the global warming fanatics have been guzzling instead.
Sadly, the American public has been sold a bill of goods on the theory of anthropogenic global climate change.
They have been told that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, when the reality is that every time they exhale, they are releasing more into the atmosphere.
Green technology that releases water vapor is a much more potent source of greenhouse gas. Scientifically speaking, the number 1 greenhouse gas IS water vapor. (Look it up.)
Controlling CO2 is nothing more than controlling money.
When you control energy, you control the world.
The proponents of "climate change", formerly, "global warming", are too busy counting the money they can get from the government to listen to the ever growing number of experts who show the error in the "Green's" dire warnings.
