Aussies up for a fight against global warming

I don' think our federal leaders and oppositions are going to get by on simple global warming tokenism any more.

clipped from www.worldpublicopinion.org Poll Finds Worldwide Agreement That Climate Change is a Threat An international poll finds widespread agreement that climate change is a pressing problem. This majority, however, divides over whether the problem of global warming is urgent enough to require immediate, costly measures or whether more modest efforts are sufficient. Twelve countries were asked whether steps should be taken to address climate change and majorities in all but one of them favored action. The largest majority in favor of measures to combat global warming is found in Australia (92%). China and Israel are the next most likely (83%) to favor such measures. Eighty percent of respondents in the United States—the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases—also support taking such measures.
