The Public Policy Institute of California released its annual statewide survey on Californians and the Environment this week that shows  67% endorsed government action to regulate climate change, and overwhelmingly support (79%) government action on climate change, including strong support for the specific policies that California is pursuing to reduce greenhouse gas pollution: increasing renewable energy (82%), reducing industrial pollution (82%), advancing cleaner cars (81%), developing sustainable communities (79%), and unlocking energy efficiency (74%).

 

Of those Californians polled, 61% of Californians believe global warming is already happening and 75% believe we need to take action right away.

 

Below are Californians responses to questions about global warming and California policies:

The findings of the PPIC poll confirm that California is moving in the right direction to implement policies that reduce pollution with broad support by Californians.

With the current state of affairs in California, any opinion polls, surverys, etc. can only be considered invalid, off the wall, and uninformed.
