After a year of erratic weather, a large majority of New Jersey residents consider climate change and global warming a real concern — and they also expect government to start taking a bigger role in protecting the environment, according to a Kean University/NJ Speaks poll released today.

The possible effects of climate change and global warming were a concern for 71 percent of respondents in the poll, and nearly all of those, 69 percent, said human activity has contributed to global warming and other environmental problems.

The follow-up question, not asked or answered, of course, should have been “would you be willing to pay 20-50% more for everything with no corresponding increase in salary (if you would have one, with most remaining industries leaving the US), accept significant limits to your freedom and movement, and otherwise deal with the significant degradation of your quality of life for it?”

Should have asked them whether they were willing to give up their cars, meat, children, climate control and light so the ferals living in the Oranges can be .1 F cooler 100 years from now.

We had hurricane Ike (4) in 2008. Your information is under reported because it is not true. LOL

I’ll believe global warming is real when all coastal cities are moved inland. Until then, either the extreme heat has fried their brains or they never had any.

Hurricane Ike made landfall in Galveston 13 Sep 2008 as a Category 2 hurricane. It is true that for a while it was a Category 4 out in the ocean and when it hit Cuba, but it was only Category 2 when it made landfall in the US.

That’s right, and as soon as anyone deals with the slightest cost or inconvenience, “climate change” falls off everybody’s list of top 1,000 concerns.
