Californians Support Global Warming Efforts — But Also Support Offshore Drilling
A recent Public Policy Institute of California survey notes a 10% increase (51-45%) in support of offshore drilling since July 2007. An overwhelming majority of Californians also continue to support efforts on the part of state policymakers to broadly target global warming, including reducing auto emissions and greenhouse gas emissions, and including implementing the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. However, a majority of Republicans polled (57%) believe that implementation should wait until the budget situation is resolved or until the state’s economic condition improves.
