Interesting chart?
Not too surprising, really: Home values taking? Check. Lost jobs? Check. Retirement accounts in the toilet? Check. How about that global warming thing? A collective "Huh?" from the masses naturally ensues.
From the Environmental Leader Daily:
"A new poll shows that people who once put a huge emphasis on the government’s green efforts now have other issues they care about more.The latest Pew Research Center poll shows that the economy and job market have jumped to the top of the priority list for most people. Last January, 75 percent of Americans polled said that the economy should be a top priority, and in a year’s time, that has jumped to 85 percent.On the other hand, however, protecting the environment has fallen from 56 percent a year ago to just 41 percent today. Of the 20 issues raised, the least important issue raised was global warming. Experts say that issues such as the environments are secondary when there is a more immediate problem."
