The survey of 1,478 adults, conducted over a five-day period ending Tuesday, revealed a growing awareness of global warming. More than seven in 10 said it was a problem and 58 percent said the Bush administration is doing too little to reduce it.
rising energy costs are also prompting more enthusiasm for opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil drilling, with 45 percent saying it should be allowed in the refuge. However, a majority, 51 percent, continue to oppose drilling there.
Less than 10 percent said the government should mandate stricter mileage standards, but 52 percent said the government should invest in alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power."
