Sustainable Business is reporting that a large majority of Americans want to take action to combat Climate Change:

62% of Americans now believe that man-made climate change is occurring, according to the biannual National Survey of American Public Opinion on Climate Change, commissioned by the Brookings Institute.

That's up from the low of 50% in spring 2010, but it's still far down from the 75% who believed it in 2008.

A majority of Americans (65%) also want mandatory controls on greenhouse gas emissions, but there's still a partisan divide. 82% of Democrats favor it, but only 50% of Republicans do, according to the latest Gallup poll.

The conclusion: The GOP is not representing the public in its outright denial of climate change and related action. GOP lawmakers oppose carbon emissions controls much more than their constituents.

Indeed, the GOP (aka Republican) representatives are not properly representing the 50% of their constituents who want to take action to combat Climate Change. When will this change?
