outside of the halls of congress where we have blinders on to this obvious issue, regular people see the changes. and they are concerned about them. the united states geological survey recently polled more than 10,000 visitors to the nation's wildlife refugees, hunters, fishersmen and families alike. 71% of those polled said they were -- quote -- "personally concerned about climate effects on fish and wildlife habitats." 74% said working to change the effects on fish and habitats would benefit future jengdz. but the special interests who deny that carbon pollution causes temperatures to increase and have such a pro profound and malign effect in this chamber, deny raising ice caps will raise the seas to dangerous levels and deny all of these changes are taking place. the myth that these special interest propagate in the face of so much evidence is that the jury is still out on climate changes caused by carbon pollution. so we don't have to worry about it or even take precautions. this is false. it's just plain wrong. virtually all of our most prestigious academic institutions have sta
