New York, November 28 (RHC)-- A recent survey by the Pew Research Center shows people around the world overwhelmingly agree on the need to limit greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change.

The survey polled people in 40 different countries. In all but one, the majority of respondents said they support emission limits. This comes as the UN climate change summit is getting ready to begin in Paris on Monday, November 30th.

The survey also comes as a group of Iowa state legislators have called on U.S. presidential candidates to sign onto a pledge calling for a World War II-style mobilization to transition the United States to a clean economy.

The pledge urges the United States to end all fossil fuel use by 2025 and for the government to employ tens of millions of Americans in expanding clean energy and agricultural infrastructure. Iowa is considered a key swing state for the 2016 presidential race.
