(New York) Voters See Global Climate Change as Reason for the Storms (over the last two years)

[font size=4]Voters See Global Climate Change as Reason for the Storms[/font]
[font size=3]“At least 63 percent of voters from every region – including two-thirds of upstaters and three-quarters of those in New York City – say the severe storms over the last two years demonstrate global climate change, rather than isolated weather events,” Greenberg said. “More than two-thirds of independents feel that way, as do more than eight in ten Democrats. Republicans are nearly evenly divided, with 46 percent saying climate change and 44 percent saying isolated weather events. There may be a debate about what has caused the global climate change, but for most New Yorkers there is no debate that it is occurring.”
