Voters Believe Global Warming is a Reality
Despite conventional wisdom that only radical environmentalists and science fiction fanatics are concerned about global warming, our recent survey reveals that the American public believes global warming is real and represents a serious threat.
An overwhelming majority of voters (74%) believe that global warming is an environmental problem that is either happening now or will happen in the future. Only one in ten voters doubt that global warming will happen. Voters not only assert that global
warming is a reality, but also contend that it has serious consequences. Two thirds see it as a serious threat now, and believe the problem is likely to get worse in the future. In addition, after respondents are given a neutral definition of global war
ming, an even greater number predict serious problems in the future.
