More than we may be lead to believe if we just listened to those who would tell us to do nothing about emissions until the developing world is kind enough to pull its head in.

The survey was conducted by Seattle-based research group Global Market Insite. It polled opinions from 14000 people in 14 countries to gather solid data on how people feel about climate change.
