74% of GOP Lawmakers Believe Global Warming is Not Man-Made: Poll

In its latest "Congressional Insiders Poll," the National Journal questioned 39 Democratic lawmakers and 39 GOP lawmakers about whether they believe global warming is man-made.

The question: "Do you think it's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Earth is warming because of man-made pollution?"

It's amazing that the percentage of Democrats actually went down, but it's also amazing that as many of the GOP continue to - perhaps not believe, but at least assert - that global warming is not man-made.

One interesting comment from the Democratic side, in the nay category:

"[Evidence is conflicting on whether] warming is man-made, but there shouldn't be any doubt that a man-made solution is needed. The trend won't reverse on its own."

And that's what I keep saying. Stop arguing about the cause; the fact is that we need to do something about it.

Oh, and he's a stupid comment from the nay side on the GOP front:

"It's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Democrats are OK with the idea of surrendering our spot atop the world economy."

What good is an economy if the world is unliveable? Personally, I feel it's the "it ain't going to affect me, so what do I care?" type of mentality that is the real argument here. Hey, what about your children and grandchildren?
