You've got to be careful with polling, it matters hugely how the
question is framed.
If you look at that speech by Bush from 2001, you'll see that he's all
for action and leadership on climate change.
And in Europe, you'll find even more impressive polling data on the
need for climate action.
But that doesn't mean there's a consensus among the population that's
much different from the positions of the major political parties.
