Gallup: 65% of Americans Support ‘Imposing Mandatory Controls On CO2 Emissions’

Joe Romm writes: I know you’ve heard the established wisdom: The climate bill failed in large part because it lacked public support.

That was never true, as over a dozen polls we reported on in the last 3 years make clear (seethem here and below). But that myth became popular because it suited the narrative of both the deniers and do-little centrist crowd and their enablers in the media.

Worldwide industrial development, carbon dioxide levels have increased dramatically in the past century

by Julie-Ann Partridge: Economic growth and development has been inexorably linked with the use of fossil fuels and changes in land use. As a result of worldwide industrial development, carbon dioxide levels have increased dramatically in the past century. Unfortunately, financial gain at the expense of the environment is a well-documented occurrence that is certain to continue in the future.

A host of research studies have explored the relationship between per capita income and carbon dioxide emissions. Though it is commonly thought that the most populous countries are those that emit the most CO2, research has shown that population is not a key determinant of overall environmental impact.

Plain Spoken Scientist on Climate Change Implications: “Holy ***t!”

Temperature is correlated with and generally lags CO2

Climate Crocks about the recent nature study, which again showed that global temperature, lags Co2 atmospheric concentration amounts. There is a lot of warming in the pipe - incoming.
Jeremy Shakun is lead author of the new study in Nature this week, confirming from multiple proxy records that “temperature is correlated with and generally lags CO2 during the last (that is, the most recent) deglaciation.”

He was interviewed for Nature.com by Paige Brown. (for voice interview, and “plain speech”, see the podcast audio above).
