A New York times conducted a skewed poll on global warming. They didn’t ask if people will pay to fight global warming. They won't.
It’s classic mainstream media spin, this time care of the New York Times on the hot button issue of global warming.
Play up the emotional side of the issue, and avoid the hard question of paying.
In their climate change poll released Friday, the Times asked if Americans think it’s a serious enough issue to support government action. As with virtually every other poll, they find that, yes, the public does support action.
But it doesn’t ask the obvious follow-up question: Would you pay for that action?
We have proof that the public’s answer is “No.”
