Poll – Angus Reid on Carbon Taxes

Posted June 27, 2008 by Sacha Peter - Link
Category: Polls Comments Off

Angus Reid released a poll ended June 26, of 800 BC residents, asking questions concerning the BC Carbon tax. You can read it locally, or on Angus Reid’s website.

The first two pages of the report is a good analysis of the numbers, so I would encourage readers to do so.

What is most interesting is that people that make more than $100,000 are by far and away the largest supporters (72%) of “Putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions is a good idea.”, while least supportive (76%) of “The BC government should target major industrial producers such as the gas, oil, cement, and aluminum industries, instead of imposing a carbon tax.”

Still, the percentages are tight enough such that I would not be making sweeping conclusions out of this survey.

Finally, 60% of BC is convinced global warming is occurring, 32% is “may be occurring, but not fully convinced” and 6% is not happening at all. The 60% magnitude is very likely why this is such a high profile issue in the first place.
