Most Americans Support Government Action On Climate Change
mdsolar points out this report in the NY Times:
An overwhelming majority of the American public, including nearly half of Republicans, support government action to curb global warming, according to a poll conducted by The New York Times, Stanford University and the nonpartisan environmental research group Resources for the Future. In a finding that could have implications for the 2016 presidential campaign, the poll also found that two-thirds of Americans say they are more likely to vote for political candidates who campaign on fighting climate change. They are less likely to vote for candidates who question or deny the science of human-caused global warming.
Among Republicans, 48 percent said they are more likely to vote for a candidate who supports fighting climate change, a result that Jon A. Krosnick, a professor of political science at Stanford University and an author of the survey, called "the most powerful finding" in the poll. Many Republican candidates either question the science of climate change or do not publicly address the issue.

slashdot needs to can it with these climate change articles. The data being introduced into these climate change models are fraudulent. Much of the models are being fit to "made up data" not real observations with associated uncertainties like real scientists use in system modelling.
And I'm sick of people trying to beat me over the head repeatedly with bad stats and bad assumptions as though repeating it all over and over again makes some sort of difference.
Any way to filter these lame idiotic postings?
