Poll confirming that there is no hope

Good to see that protecting the environment is second on that list!

Huh? Environment didn't even make the list for the 1st graph I posted, and was 12th down the list on the 2nd one.

And it should be pointed out that Global Warming is still down from 2009.

I think it should be down because we're doing more than our part to help. We haven't been perfect, but the US has done a fine job curbing man-made climate change while balancing economic and social needs. Compared to the rest of the world, US citizens should be proud for their efforts at the local, state, and national levels. Only Europe (particularly Scandinavians), Canada, and some South American nations have seriously taken on the challenge of climate change as much as we have.

Unfortunately our citizens always score lowly compared to other countries when asked where we prioritize environmentalism and we get crap for it, but when it comes to actions, there are few equals.

Good post Trip. People are going to always prioritize their pocket book over long term health and quality of living. Too bad more people don't show the same concern over the environment they are leaving their kids and grand kids as they do the national debt.
