Majority of Americans Continue to Believe that Global Warming Is Real

March 9, 2010

Stanford University communications researcher Jon Krosnick has released an analysis of his latest public opinion survey on American's perceptions of global warming.

Survey results indicate:

• 75% of Americans believe that the world's temperatures have probably been going up;
• Public confidence in what scientists say about the environment has remained constant over the last few years with 70% of respondents trusting scientists a lot or moderate amount;
• More people believe that weather has been relatively cooler and more stable in 2008 and 2009 compared to previous years; and
• Climate skeptics are having some affect on the public's belief that there is agreement among scientists that global warming is happening.

Climate Change Puts Ecosystems on the Run

December 18, 2009
