Even among college students, little panic over global warming

From the survey results here:
* 42% of respondents said social issues carried the greatest weight when considering candidates; 33% of which named healthcare as their primary social concern, followed by education (20%)
* 26% of respondents said the economy was their greatest concern; 18% of which cited recession as their top economic concern
* 24% cited foreign policy as the biggest issue; with the Iraq War as the top concern for this category (27%)
* Only 9% gave the environment the greatest weight; 59% of which voiced global warming as their primary environmental issue
Again, I think public panic over global warming is remarkably low, considering the intensity of the "greatest crisis" marketing that's already been done.
