CASBS Consulting Scholar Jon Krosnick, interviewed in the LA Times Opinion pages, says that Americans overwhelmingly want government action on climate change:
“What we've found is about 80% of Americans — I never see 80% of Americans agreeing on anything when it comes to other issues, so this is very unusual — believe the federal government should limit greenhouse gas emissions by businesses and in particular by public utilities.”
Similarly, work by Krosnick and Stanford political scientist Morris Fiorina on the high level of support for women’s choices during pregnancy, was cited in The New York Times’ The Upshot section this morning.
