New York Times: Two-Thirds of Americans Want U.S. to Join Climate Change Pact
New York Times ^ | 11/30/2015 | By GIOVANNI RUSSONELLO

A solid majority of Americans say the United States should join an international treaty to limit the impact of global warming, but on this and other climate-related questions, opinion divides sharply along partisan lines, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Two-thirds of Americans support the United States joining a binding international agreement to curb growth of greenhouse gas emissions, but a slim majority of Republicans remain opposed, the poll found. Sixty-three percent of Americans -- including a bare majority of Republicans -- said they would support domestic policy limiting carbon emissions from power plants.

Public support for international and domestic measures to address climate change may provide a lift for American negotiators attending the major United Nations climate change conference that began in Paris on Monday. But the stark partisan divide on climate policy will still make it difficult for President Obama and his successors to put in place the energy and climate policies that will be needed to support a robust international agreement, the goal of the Paris talks.

Republicans in Congress and many Republican governors oppose Mr. Obam'’s proposal to limit emissions from power plants, for example, complicating his ability to meet targets he has set to comply with United Nations climate goals. And the Obama administration has made it clear that any agreement it would sign in Paris would not take the form of an internationally enforced treaty that would require Senate ratification.

What was the result among people who have science degrees? (Other than Political Science!) Asking clueless people is merely a measure of propaganda success.

Why should we listen now?

Yeah, sure. The question then becomes, “Are you ready and willing to pay the bill for fixing the ‘problem’?”

2/3 of Americans randomly sampled exiting the Whole Foods on the East Side supported this.

NYT didn't ask my household.

OK. So the Cruz administration can toss it in the round file where it belongs.

I wonder if they would keep shoveling if they were forced to smell what they’re shovelling?

Two thirds of Americans don’t even know there is a “climate change pact.”

The lies have been getting more and more strident. The Left’s donors who are heavily invested in people buying the “climate change” hoax must be getting desperate.

Funny - I’ve seen a great many polls indicating people are getting wise to the whole global climate change scam.

Must be another example of NYT Math.

Oh, Bullsh*t...

Nobody thinks that except Leftist loons, Democrat donation bundlers, the mainstream media, the Millenials, clueless college kids, the Weather Channel, and fools (but, I repeat myself).

That hardly counts as "two thirds". However, it does comprise most of the Democrat base.
