New doubts on warming, but most favor action - washingtonpost.com

New poll numbers are out - Americans continue to question the validity of science and the recent email scandal isn't helping things. But what I do find heartening about this is that conservatives still do want action on carbon emissions. "Do you think that the U.S. should take action on global warming only if other major industrial countries such as China and India agree to do equally effective things?" 55% of poll respondents (43% among Republicans) said that the U.S. should take action with or without China. This is a really big deal. Now how can we mobilize a nation to start conserving, consuming less and taking to heart their own habits that increase carbon emissions?
