despite the fact that the last few years adjustment chock full of extreme weather
events and rising temperatures as a restaurant shortly
in the past few years public support for doing something about climate change a
redirect dies in a climate changes happening had actually been dropping
over where we sought eight ten years ago medicine exits were also in the u_k_ and
some other a western european countries but thankfully one of the few silver
linings coming out of hurricane sandeep is that we have some new public polling
data that says that people are thankfully starting to believing climate
change and it's negative effects on the country
let me just jump in for one percent is not to circuit city to declare but i
think it's a real for people who don't know if he's a real for the media but
for uh... the rest of us throughout the country
it's a series of events the droughts the firefox that record heat etcetera
and so
you don't get to see the numbers of jobs but the show you allows allot of people
are affected so wasn't just the east coast
the tornadoes in the middle of the country the drought in texas this ever
but you know this sounds as good as of so stupid but as a
football basketball fan college football basketball of the
the west coast my whole life and when i grew up on the east coast
u_c_l_a_ and so forth
that we'll talk about these goes bust unit which is very real in the days
before the internet because you know people who didn't see the games in the
west coast
but still exists will bet
but it's a little bit true
still even in this link all of a sudden you got an extreme weather situation
where the people who cover the stuff
live yeah
b_n_l_ even though we've had
equally dangerous or small tell from the story
you know the drop of this year's more dangerous that hurricane said it
but of course workings eddie hit where they live so all of a sudden these goes
bust working in favor of the acknowledging contract that's cuz thats
when ninety percent of the media's and the news media new york in washington so
when ever their progress of the delegation
lois is thing called clients janssens there's two things this climate change
and opal ultimately organic turns out is good
let them know what's going on xy you know there'll be a good team invoice
totally
saket so there was a stunning
c_s_o_ what i think is probably the best overall is um... public support for
elected officials actually doing something about this so we have
uh... sixty-five percent now agreed that elected officials should take some steps
to reduce the impact of climate change with just twenty seven percent
waiting for more evidence in because that's that's the counter-argument
cottages adults gather data for another fifty hundred years
and thankfully people don't seem to be buying that i want to do a book
that has those about the twenty seven percent
like in all these polls
evidence do you want
but also i like the idea that their soberly considering an analyst i've seen
it it's interesting i've read the debt
but i'd like more respect them and you don't you don't buy that you did
it is that wind storm blows away your house
well i i mean people wait for evidence for the least likely to actually look at
that so yeah
expected by the way i was in a category
on climate change
fifteen twenty years ago and i was like wow look at and they say it's gonna
happen but i mean i'm really see that happening yet
anne don't happen
advisor and it's not me just seeing a storm here that you look at the overall
pattern it is clear is that is was true in a little bit but there's a really
encouraging number yes sixty five and twenty seven say it's happening but you
know for sure and we should do some union green with a twenty
he's fifteen years ago for and the room but the time i may have been in that
camp too
and the problem is it's all markets all about how stuff is
soul always said that ineffectiveness of the environmental movement
for years
which was so easily dismissed by
the spotted owl
entry of exactly as you like a rolling your eyes that these guys and then when
they came with something
incredibly serious
but that's the world economy to the table
we were like hell three
the actually directly related to what we go to graphic to
uh... so you see here uh... sixty nine percent greatly or somewhat worried
about the growing costs and risks of extreme weather disasters fueled by
climate change uh... and even a majority of tea party sympathizers and so when
it's just about protecting the spotted owl somewhere
nobody's really in support of apple when they see that lagata section like racked
our economy could talk to hit add to the deficit like
i think for some people who are concerned about alleles and things like
that
this puts it in terms i think that they're more ghetto how you how guilty
party member and not concerned about
that's where those where's the other forty two percent this latest itinerary
all the propaganda people resent for the republican party like drill baby
caroline and i think a spokesperson at
fifty percent of the stated
a new look at those numbers and the fact that president obama did not obsessed
climate change
at all there is reelection
goes to show that these
but you're a great campaign in other words but when it comes to issues where
he should be progressive enhance the great majority the very people behind
him
he just doesn't do it because yet number of times about it is
reasons for that donors have set up and his political capital for it now
yes yet for submitting speaking of those donors rescinded on that as well to see
you see the uh... the amount of donations from oil and gas industry in
two thousand twelve fifty nine of million dollars just in two thousand
twelve
uh... you also see in terms of the lobbying that they did in two thousand
twelve a hundred and four million dollars
um... in washington donald l
takeaways
i think about that and that's just one year they're not spend a hundred sixty
three million dollars overall for their health yeah that's that's what gets you
all the congress led by the way today there are
a bipartisan group of senators
that are saying to president obama
make sure you do that more than half of the keystone pipe
okay
and
g_m_ would have some of that hundred and sixty three million dollars one in their
pockets
now off it
has precipitated by the way they should be spending two hundred sixty three
million on their health and work in the oil gas and but but but but
uh... so we're gonna get in just a minute to to obama's been saying about
this but but in advance that let's see what are the independence think we
should do to deal with it so
twelve percent think that keystone could help solve america's energy challenges
before he said that's why you should be there so what
what is removal energy but it starts at four times as much support
we have an amazing two facts that that jake uh... discovered this morning so
it's going to have discovered yet
well without a good ideas and temperature analysis about had
originally products as ever
at southwest
uh... this is now the three hundred and thirty second consecutive month with an
above average temperature for ms bats
insane but to put it in naming very human terms if you were born after april
nineteen eighty five
you've never once lived for a month that was colder than average um... and i
imagine that for the next twenty thirty forty years he probably will
uh... so that's pretty and that eighty five
number was that stacker yesterday walk out can you imagine every single month
of your life
has been harder than the average bonds
we don't know what the kids and it's never been a destroy you forget it
also i don't think people generally think of their lives in that way if
we've got a lot of folks catholic away
i did this month was at least point two degrees one here
that it was twenty years ago and when i was around the world in eighty eight it
was there too
