Climate Change Is of Growing Personal Concern to U.S. Hispanics, Poll Finds.

“It’s obviously happening, the flooding, the record droughts,” said Mr. Padilla, who agrees with the science that human activities are the leading cause of climate change. “And all this affects poor people harder. The jobs are more based on weather. And when there are hurricanes, when there is flooding, who gets hit the worst? The people on the poor side of town.”

Mr. Padilla’s concern is echoed by other Hispanics across the country, according to a poll conducted last month by The New York Times, Stanford University and the nonpartisan environmental research group Resources for the Future. The survey, in which Mr. Padilla was a respondent, found that Hispanics are far more likely than whites to view global warming as a problem that affects them personally. It also found that they are far more likely to support policies, such as taxes and regulations on greenhouse gas pollution, aimed at curbing it.

OK, Democrats, let's take advantage of this!!!

1. That could be because non-Hispanic whites are already more likely to vote Republican

than Hispanics, and many Republicans are idiots who don't believe in global warming for political reasons. In other words, there isn't something to take advantage of, here - the Hispanic result is because they're normal, thinking people, while more whites are Republican morons.

2. Yes, and we must 'take advantage' of these facts

by encouraging them/us to VOTE, and fighting the prevalent anti-voting tactics used so well by repugs.
