Four out of five people in the U.S. say global warming will be a big problem for the nation without action to reduce it, and a growing majority believe that temperatures are going up, a poll shows.
The Associated Press-Gfk poll released Friday shows that 80 percent say the country faces a “serious” problem if nothing is done to reduce future warming.
The finding arrives as environmentalists are pressing the White House to take tougher action on global warming, including creation of emissions standards for existing power plants.
President Obama, at a press conference in November, offered no details of his second term climate agenda but did vow to devote attention to the topic.
