global warming survey
-
Just asking, a few questions here to answer as honestly as you can. I'm not looking for insults, bombast hyperbole or anything like that, but as close as you can get to your honest feelings.
For the purposes of this survey 0 means no, nothing, disagree and 10 means yes, a great deal, I agree wholeheartedly. Okay?
1 the climate is changing.
2 mankind has an effect on it.
3 the effects are dangerous to human civilization.
4 the United States government can unilaterally make a difference.
5 individual citizens can make a difference.
6 I am willing to make changes in my lifestyle for the good of humanity.
7 where does climate change rank among my political priorities?
Just curious. Too bad we can't do this anonymously but...

Can you add clarifiers to 3 (timeframe?) and 6 (degree of change?)

I didn't want to get too specific. I would assume if you thought possibly may be dangerous in a hundred years the answer would be lower and if the answer was danger is right around the corner the number would be higher.
Same with number 6. A little or a lot is simple enough. Especially since we all do at least something to conserve.
(I don't suppose I can stop anyone from elaborating but just general questions. Elaboration, in my opinion, will lead to bombast.)

1 the climate is changing. 10, of course.
2 mankind has an effect on it. 1. Actually, more like .37
3 the effects are dangerous to human civilization. Poorly worded, bud, because the mild effectsdo not affect diddley much at all. the dramatic effects sure do, but what things are a result of
global warming, and what are a result of simple weather variation?
4 the United States government can unilaterally make a difference. 0
5 individual citizens can make a difference.0
6 I am willing to make changes in my lifestyle for the good of humanity.0

Well, I consider 100 years pretty soon in the grand scheme of things.

Question six *is* the degree to which you would change. 0 being not at all, 2 being new light bulbs, 10 being completely eco-nut living in a compost heap to save energy or something.

Gotcha. I was looking at it like "Would you be willing to change *this* much". But that works too

10, the climate is ALWAYS changing

6, but I'm not for sure how much
3 the effects are dangerous to human civilization.
5, we should be able to counter it somehow
4 the United States government can unilaterally make a difference.
2, the US gov't can't agree on anything unilaterally
5 individual citizens can make a difference.
2, very unlikely

Yes
2 mankind has an effect on it.
Marginally, perhaps
3 the effects are dangerous to human civilization.
Not if one believes in Darwin and "Survival of the Fittest", Evolutionary Theory
4 the United States government can unilaterally make a difference.
Not really. India, China and others will more than offset any changes we might make. This is a 'feel good' issue, only.
5 individual citizens can make a difference.
Microscopically
6 I am willing to make changes in my lifestyle for the good of humanity.
I recycle, turn off the lights, etc.
7 where does climate change rank among my political priorities?
Near, if not at, the bottom.

Hilarious reading the responses to questions "2" & "5"
Y'all just made my night.

Also I'm glad woodster has managed to respond, yet avoid answering the question(s). Again
As dependable as the sunrise.

I'm sorry that you couldn't stop thinking about the fact I had not answered. I hope it didn't traumatize you too much. You seem like a fragile fellow, I should have known better.

1 the climate is changing. 8
2 mankind has an effect on it. 8
3 the effects are dangerous to human civilization. To us, 6 if 5 is neutral on this scale. probably doesn't matter too much in our lifetimes. 3 generations away, 8. 5+ generations, 10. The primary cause of concern will be conflict over dwindling sources of freshwater.
4 the United States government can unilaterally make a difference. 6 - we can pull the world in the right direction, but we got to be a superpower by exploiting natural resources. Now other countries are doing the same and the first world expects them to not strive toward that goal? Not going to happen. Plus, there's a whole hell of a lot more second and third world people than there are us.
5 individual citizens can make a difference. Meh. 5. Concerted efforts that make a difference will require the work of individuals, but apathy and the goals I mentioned above will trump this 98% of the time.
6 I am willing to make changes in my lifestyle for the good of humanity. 2. I recycle (which arguably counts for a point or two), but I'm PC master race and I have an 800W power supply to my GTX 560 and Q6600 quad core, a 24" monitor, a PS3, a PS4, a Razer Blade, and a Surface Pro 3.
7 where does climate change rank among my political priorities? 2. Pretty low, unless the candidate is a denier, which suggests that they don't have much value for the scientific method, in which case, 10. -
(oops, this was just chillin in Chrome. I thought I posted it awhile ago)
1 the climate is changing. - 10. This should be obvious
2 mankind has an effect on it. - 9.7.
3 the effects are dangerous to human civilization. - 8. If left unaccounted for, at some point, yes. In the next generation or so? Probably not. So I guess 8?
4 the United States government can unilaterally make a difference. - 6. I think the US on its own could make some difference, but obviously it will need to an effort with a lot of countries. I think we may end up in a situation where we need to take that first step though (maybe us a an few close allies, but not all of the major powers).
5 individual citizens can make a difference. - 5. I think most of the change is going to need to be made through governments, in a way that affects major corporations and industries. What someone does in their home won't be major. So, some in-home change + voting power = 56 I am willing to make changes in my lifestyle for the good of humanity. - 6. As I become more financially stable, I'd be willing and able to make more changes. Right now, even though I don't think it will be a major change, I would be willing to make some changes. These changes need to just be readily available for individuals to access/
