"Americans Care More About Gay Marriage Than Global Warming"

From an August '07 Treehugger post:

Pollster American Environics studied American attitudes toward energy and the environment and found depressing results:

1) Americans overwhelmingly believe that global warming is occurring.
2) They don't care. "dealing with global warming" came 20th out of 23 policy priorities.
3) They won't give anything up. The cost of energy is more important than global warming.
...
It is beyond depressing; notwithstanding all of our blogging, writing, movie making and politicking, the inconvenient truth is that we are getting nowhere.
