As you may know, representatives of governments from all over the world have been meeting in Denmark to seek agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Do you think the U.S. should sign a treaty to reduce greenhouse gases:
30% Only if other major countries, such as India and China, agree to make similar economic sacrifices
33% The U.S. should sign a treaty even if these other countries do less
28% The U.S. should not sign a treaty to reduce greenhouse gases, no matter what other countries do

38% It is going too far in protecting the environment at the expense of American jobs
8% It is going too far protecting American jobs at the expense of the environment?
