The consensus is in, you were polled, (oh, you weren't pulled? Tough luck.), and 77% of you agree with the "settled science" of man-made global warmingTM and 71% of you want the government to "do something" about it.

Citizens, we have heard from you and we promise with your tax dollars and with government "scientists", we will solve this problem and save the Erf!

77%? More B S. And for the close to 50% who don’t pay any taxes, they probably assume they have to go along with stuff like this in order to keep getting their government benefits and entitlements.

Yeah, Americans favored taxing the rich by 2%.

It gave us the IRS.

Let’s have a poll which says:

1. How many of you trust that China will end their global warming practices? India? Saudi Arabia? Russia?

2. If the US ended global warming in America, will other countries global warming reach American soil?

3. How much will fixing global warming cost? 1-10, 11-100, 101-1000, etc.

A foot in the door for the sheep.

Same thing goes for school taxes. That’s the rationale every year at budget time.

Until you’re paying 10K a year in school taxes.

Big Governments answer to everything.

Raise taxes and impose heavier regulations.

Climate change is happening

What kind of statement is that? There should be 100% agreement that it is happening. The climate is constantly changing and has for the almost 5 billion years the planet has been in existence.

These are the kinds of polls that are meant to shape public opinion, not reflect it.

These morons have no idea what changes to their lifestyle would be required to align with the AGW dystopian version. No cars. No suburbs. No meat. No AC. No TP. Minimal heat. Fewer kids. And re-education camps for those who dissent. It isn’t about ten bucks tacked onto your electric bill. It is about reducing your electric bill to ten percent of its current level.

You are stupid enough to believe in global warming? Then YOU pay the bill.

Allow people to voluntarily pay an extra buck and what percentage opts in. I guarantee it won’t be 57%.

They should put it on the bill as a contribution/check box. Would you like to donate $1, $5, $10 to save the world?

Not many of these frauds would donate.

Climate change is happening. It’s always happening. The change we are seeing now is caused by the sun and it’s going to get cold. And there’s not a damned thing we can do about it.

The problem with these polls anymore is they are entirely biased to the outcome the agenda wants.

They are not forthright questions and answers.

They poll 100%+ of the democrat liberal left over the republican. These leads to heavily skewed results.

Lastly, I have been getting the TownSurvey for my small town. As I read through the materials I knew it was for the liberal agenda without going online to take the survey. Finally, after digging a little deeper into the materials I was appalled to find this innocuous poll was not so innocent! It was put together by a liberal college psychology department! Not my town’s council, not my city leaders, not anyone in my town!!! It is clearly evident that the left are taking full advantage of the citizen and creating agenda driven polls through psychology departments. They are using subliminal psychology to trick people into their agendas!

These polls are DECEPTIVE since the amount of money needed to ‘fight Global Warming’ means a DOUBLING of electric bills, just to start with...and it means most people having to choose spending their summers in 80+ degree houses or not eating.

The “Global Warming” effect of raising electric bills less than $1,000 per year will be nil., so why even mention the lower numbers?

ANSWER: These are really PUSH POLLS, designed to convince people that it really doesn’t cost much to ‘make a difference’. Except that it does...but by the time the public learns the truth, of course it will be too late.
