Survey: Americans don't want taxes used on global warming | Charlottesville Daily Progress

Results of the survey were released Thursday as a two-day National Conference on Climate Governance began at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs.
The survey is an expansion of one released in October that focused on Virginians’ attitudes about climate change.
That survey of 660 Virginians was conducted in early September and suggests that 40 percent of Virginians believe human activity — burning fossil fuels — is responsible for warmer weather.

The latest report added surveys conducted in California, Mississippi and Pennsylvania and roughly 600 other interviews done nationwide.
The survey finds that more than seven of 10 Americans surveyed — 72 percent — report believing there is “solid evidence the Earth is warming,” numbers that mirror findings of surveys conducted in 2006 and 2007 by the Pew Center.
However, the Miller Center reports that fewer than one in five Americans — 18 percent — believe addressing global warming should involve raising taxes on fossil fuels. [Via Junk Science]
