In spite of massive astroturfing campaigns by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and major industrial polluters, a clear majority of Americans support the regulation of greenhouse gases, according to a poll commissioned by the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Remarkably, just 34 percent said they oppose the plan, while 60 percent were in favor, according to Bloomberg.

A smaller majority, 54 percent, said they felt confident in the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to effectively regulate greenhouse gases. Just 51 percent said they support the agency actually issuing the regulations, while 40 percent were opposed.

An overwhelming majority of respondents, 68 percent, said the government must "do more to hold corporations accountable for their pollution."
