On the weekend after the Rudd government reintroduced its plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by putting a market price on carbon, public support for the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme dropped to a new low after the fiasco of the UN's Copenhagen climate conference in December and Coalition opposition to an ETS.
In September last year, support for the CPRS was at 67 per cent but last weekend dropped to 57 per cent and those against the CPRS rose from 22 per cent in September 2009 to 34 per cent.
This is odd since 73% of the people polled, at the bottom of this article, say that climate change is real and 96% of those who believe say it is partly or entirely due to humans.Geez, with those kind of numbers they shouldn't have any problem passing climate legislation of any kind!
