A new survey released today shows that combating global warming is a top priority for young voters. A new survey issued by the United States Conference of Mayors found that 80 percent of voters between the ages of 18 to 29 say that global warming is “a major threat to human life on earth” as humans know it. 58 percent of survey respondents say that “Drastic times call for bold measures.” 74 percent of respondents felt that state and city governments should play a major role in adopting more sustainable policies rather than leave it to the federal government alone.
