A new poll with climate change questions

 E2 Wire:

About one-third of people in the United States say action on climate change is "essential" in 2013, according to a USA TODAY/Pew Research Center poll released Thursday.

Thirty-four percent of people in the poll called taking action on climate change “essential this year." Thirty-nine percent said climate change needs to be addressed in the next few years, while 19 percent said nothing should be done and 8 percent had no opinion. 

Republicans who were polled rejected two major options for mitigating climate change. Nearly half opposed setting stronger power plant emissions limits, and only one-third backed using more renewable energy. ...

Sixty-two percent of respondents said Obama should forge ahead with stricter emissions limits on power plants, compared with 28 percent who opposed the idea. ...

Fifty-four percent said the United States should use more renewable sources for energy, compared with 34 percent who wanted to develop more oil and gas. ...

The poll was conducted through telephone interviews — half by landline, half by cellphone. It has a 2.9 percentage point margin of error.

Almost two-thirds want something done about climate change in a few years. It would be best to know how that would change with an explicit cost attached.
