Whats your opinion on global warming? I have to take a poll for my Environmental Science class.

First question: Do you think that global warming from an enhanced greenhouse effect is a very serious problem, a moderately serious problem, or of little concern?

If you could also state your age, political leaning, or sex that would help me greatly :)

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

EVERY major scientific organization has issued an official statement that this is real, and mostly caused by us. The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

Old guy. Politics is unimportant here, this is scientific fact. A few of the many Conservatives who agree:

%26quot;Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming%26quot;

%26quot;National Review (the most prestigious conservative magazine) published a cover story calling on conservatives to shake off denial and get into the climate policy debate%26quot;

%26quot;Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) %26#039;It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”

%26quot;I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial.%26quot;

%26quot;The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now.%26quot;
