Poll Finds Hispanic Voters Highly Concerned about Climate Change. By Jim Lobe, IPS, April 23, 2008. "Hispanic voters in the United States show a high degree of awareness and concern about environmental issues, particularly global warming, according to an unprecedented national survey on Latino opinion and the environment released here Wednesday by the Sierra Club. The poll, which was conducted by Bendixen & Associates, found a strong willingness by the largest and fastest-growing ethnic community to take measures to curb energy use and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions that scientists say contribute to climate change. More than 80 percent of the 1,000 Hispannic voters interviewed in the poll said they recognized that energy usage had a substantial impact on their environment."
