See repost from Climate Progress blog:

Large majorities of Florida, Maine, and Massachusetts residents believe that global warming is real—and that humans are causing it.

The Earth has been getting warming gradually over the last 100 years (81 percent, 78 percent, and 84 percent, respectively).

This warming is mostly or partly due to human activity (72 percent, 76 percent, and 80 percent).
The U.S. government should take action to limit the greenhouse gas emissions of businesses (74 percent, 77 percent, and 77 percent), with at least 74 percent of all such respondents agreeing that the government should move to limit emissions right away.

A cap-and-trade permit trading system should be implemented to reduce businesses’ greenhouse gas emissions (68 percent, 72 percent, and 77 percent)
