New polling data show the American public is growing increasingly skeptical of assertions about an imminent global warming crisis. A Yale University/George Mason poll and an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll each show Americans are not very worried about global warming.
Only 15 Percent Very Worried
The Yale University Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication released a survey showing only 15 percent of Americans are “very worried” about global warming, whereas 23 percent believe global warming is not happening at all. A plurality of Americans—38 percent—believe global warming is happening but are only “somewhat worried” about it.
