Survey respondents proactive on global warming
A story by Patty Murray on Wisconsin Public Radio:
(DE PERE) People in Wisconsin think global warming is for real and they want something done about it. Eighty-three percent of respondents to the Wisconsin Public Radio/ St. Norbert College Survey say global warming is already having “serious” effects. The poll also asked if they would support specific actions to put the brakes on climate change, such as limiting emissions on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses for utilities and vehicles, similar to that in effect for other pollutants.
Wendy Scattergood is an analyst with the St. Norbert College Survey Center. She says 77 percent strongly support emissions limits and that she was surprised at how strong the support is for emissions limits.
Nearly 80 percent or the poll’s respondents considered themselves well informed on the topic. More than half say global warming is caused by human activity.
