Global Warming Update 2/24/2011

Since Canada is the greatest country in the world (proven scientific fact) and is more intelligent than America , I figured I would share an interesting statistics.

It turns out that Canadians are more likely to believe that global warming is a real issue than Americans are, despite the undisputable evidence that global warming is happening. The survey had some surprising results.

According to the survey, 80% of Canadians that took part in the survey believed that glboal warming is occuring on our earth, cmopared to just 58% of Americans polled.

The following may be the most interesting of all:

"The survey found that 73 per cent of questioned Canadians would be willing to pay at least $50 a year in extra energy costs so more renewable energy could be produced.

Of Americans surveyed, 55 per cent said they'd be willing to pay the extra more for green energy."

Here is the statistic that is related to people's political views. I tend to have more of a Liberal point of view than that of a Conservative, so it is no surprise to me that the numbers are the way they are

% of people who believe in climate change

Liberal supporters polled: 91%
Bloc Quebecois supporters polled: 90%
Green Party supporters polled: 87%
NDP supporters polled: 84%
Conservative supporters polled: 64%
