Getting people to pay to fix man made global warming has always been dead on arrival, only problem is you are just now figuring it out. Even most of the believers don't want to pay for it.
Remember how I said the global warming movement will collapse on its self by 2022, this is the beginning of the end.
If they aren't willing to pay for it then they don't really believe in it.

The point is the 'fix' for global warming is not a fix, but rather a reduction of the pollution we cause.
You are opposed to taxing fossil fuel. Then there's little incentive to reduce its use, and no way to pay for the measures needed to fight the effects like rising sea level.
Libertarians don't want governing, no? Let everyone decide for themselves...

Well, that's fine for things that affect only yourself.
The way I see it things should be governed at the level most relevant to the scope of the matter at hand.

If the doctor says you need to diet, and you don't and grow obese, that's your own choice. You may suffer from it, but probably nobody else does.
If you like to smoke it is another matter. You don't only put yourself at risk, but also everybody else in the same room. So if you are by yourself, go ahead, but otherwise you should not.
If you throw your trash on the street you influence the neighborhood, and chances are they'll get back at you. The guidelines what to do with your trash are a municipality matter.

if you burn fossil fuel the carbon spreads over the entire world. The scope is the entire world, and the problem needs to be tackled on a global scale.
We can't protect the climate if some nations keep spilling carbon like there's no tomorrow.

The fault in the questionnaire was the way the question was put.
It is ridiculous to ask people to pay money to fix global warming.
Instead they should have asked how much one should pay for wasting.
Would you let people pay $10 for every ton of CO2 they release, to help save the climate? I bet more than 32% would say "Yes" to that.

Littering is not taken lightly. Why is putting enormous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere allowed, then?
