Poll Shows Weakening Views of Climate Change
Published Monday, November 30, 2009 at 05:09 AM
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll found that four out of five Americans believe global warming is happening. That’s 8 percent fewer than the previous year. The poll's findings also show that 55 percent of respondents think the United States should curb its carbon output even if major developing nations such as China and India do less. And the poll shows that a majority of respondents still support legislation to cap emissions and trade pollution allowances, by 53 to 42 percent.

Amanda Feinberg, a retired administrative assistant living in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania says she became disenchanted with the idea of human-caused global warming when former vice president Al Gore launched a public awareness campaign with his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." Feinberg, a Republican says, - he just seemed a little radical in his views. I don't deny its happening, I just think it's just an evolution of nature.
