This is a fairly biased poll...

If it was a random involuntary sample then it'd be fine, but this is voluntary.

When you have a voluntary poll, you get more strongly opinionated people answering (as opposed to people who dont really care).

 

And in a poll like this the "I am an enviromentalist" side is probably feel more strongly for the argument, making it one-sided :P

 

In stats class we had an example, where a newspaper columnist asked readers to send in an answer to the question:

 

If you could go back in time, would you still have your children?

70% said no, 30% said yes.

 

This just seems wonky (not a word I know lol)... Now, the New York Times did a random sample and got results of:

9% no, 91% yes.

 

Anyways, thought I would just point that out to you... still an interesting poll (I'm 'not an enviromentalist and I live in the city')
