It might seem obvious why, but Treehugger posts about a new Reuters report about how hunters and anglers are concerned about climate change's impacts on their favorite past times and favor strong climate solutions legislation. Says Reuters:
A 2008 NWF poll of over 1,000 hunters and fishers found that over half classified themselves as "politically conservative."
