Global Warming Survey
The results of an international poll on climate change were released today. The survey included 17 countries representing more than 55 percent of the world population.
Is global warming a critical threat? Should steps be taken now even if it involves significant costs? Should less developed countries (with substantial aid) make a commitment to limit their greenhouse gas emissions. These are some of the questions posed in the survey. Full survey results along with the methodology of the research are linked from the press release.
