As you may know there is some discussion these days about the problem of global warming or climate change due to the buildup of greenhouse gasses. How much have you heard about global warming or climate change?
There is a controversy over what the countries of the world, including the US, should do about the problem of global warming. I'm going to read you three statements. Please tell me which statement comes closest to your own point of view.
Should President Bush develop a plan to reduce the emission of gases that may contribute to global warming or shouldn't he do so?
Which of the following statements is closest to your own opinion?
Based on what you know, would you want your Congressional representative to vote for or against the US participating in theKyoto agreement to reduce global warming
Just based on your impressions, do you think your Congressional representative WOULD vote for or against the US participating in theKyoto agreement to reduce global warming
Just based on your impressions, do you think a majority in Congress would vote for or against the U.S. participating in theKyoto agreement to reduce global warming
Just based on your impressions, do you think President Bush favors or opposes the U.S. participating in the Kyoto agreement to reduce global warming?
Which comes closer to your opinion?
Another controversy is whether the less-developed countries should also be expected to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Please tell me which of the following positions comes closest to yours.
Here is a list of possible approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions that may contribute to climate change. For each one please say whether you favor or oppose it: [Provide tax incentives to utility companies to encourage them to sell environment
Here is a list of possible approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions that may contribute to climate change. For each one please say whether you favor or oppose it: [Give cash incentives like tax credits and rebates to individual households that u
Would you approve or disapprove of the government requiring car manufacturers to meet higher fuel efficiency standards than they do now?
What if that meant it would cost more to own or lease a car, then would you approve or disapprove of the government requiring car manufacturers to meet higher fuel efficiency standards than they do now?
Would you favor or oppose requiring that by 2010, half of all new cars produced are hybrid-electric or some other type that is very fuel efficient?
Do you favor or oppose continuing the tax credit for purchasing a hybrid-electric car?
Do you favor or oppose continuing to give large SUVs and Hummers a bigger tax credit than for ordinary cars used for business purposes?
Just based on what you know, do you favor or oppose having such limits on how much greenhouse gases large companies can emit?
According to an estimate done by MIT, cutting greenhouse gas emissions as much as this draft of the new bill would require will increase various costs to the average American household by about $15 a month. Do you tend to feel that this estimate is
If in fact it appears that it would likely cost $15 a month for an average household, would you favor or oppose enacting such a bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
If further research concluded that it would likely cost $10 a month for an average household, would you favor or oppose enacting such a bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
If further research concluded that it would likely cost $25 a month for an average household, would you favor or oppose enacting such a bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
If we do not let companies buy and sell emission allowances, this would be unfair to companies for whom it is more expensive to lower their emissions, and overall would make it more costly to reduce emissions.
If companies are not allowed to buy and sell their emission allowances, the costs of lowering emissions will be substantially higher than presently estimated for the average American household.
It is just not right for companies to buy the right to emit greenhouse gases. All companies should have to reduce their emissions.
Requiring all companies to lower their emission levels the same amount will force them to adopt new technologies that may be expensive in the short run but will be economically beneficial in the long run.
Now, having considered these arguments, do you favor or oppose permitting companies to buy and sell their allowances to emit greenhouse gases?
Overall, compared to the average American, would say you are more supportive or less supportive of taking steps to reduce global warming?
If a candidate for political office were to favor a law requiring large companies to gradually reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, would that make you more or less likely to vote for that candidate? Please answer on a scale of +5 to -5, with +5 meanin
