global warming

This comes up frequently in other matters, but I noticed the parsing of poll data was mostly being argued over the issue of educational levels in countries. One thing that should be considered for the variance between say Buddhist and Islamist countries on global warming and human activity would be the dependence on oil as an export in many Islamic countries. Since we would naturally assume oil is involved in some way if one accepts the notion of anthropogenic global warming, then it may stand to reason that countries which depend on oil exports would make a considerable effort to minimize its importance. We see this argument constantly made against global warming skeptics who often receive funding from energy companies. Why could it not apply toward the general economy of an entire nation which essentially is a giant energy company?
