Record number of Americans see climate change as a current threat

More Americans are very worried about global warming and say the issue is personally important to them than ever before, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

Why it matters: The polling may indicate that extreme weather events — coupled with a series of grim scientific findings — over the past year are starting to change peoples' minds about climate change, which could have significant implications for any significant climate legislation passing Congress.

The big picture: The key finding from the new survey from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication is that Americans increasingly view global warming as a present-day threat to them, rather than an issue that will affect future generations. Nearly half of Americans (46%) said they personally experienced the effects of global warming — a 15-point spike since March 2015.

Maybe they’re referring to the weather getting hot during summer.

Well, a couple of objective and neutral pollsters like them couldn't possibly be slanting the results, could they?

All it proves is that non-stop, urgent propaganda, if said enough times, works!

[bigbob]

Why don’t conservatives start up alternatives?

[Vigilanteman]

In my world, I experience NOTICEABLE global warming every May. Sometimes as soon as March or April. Sometimes as late as June.

In general, I think global warming is a GOOD thing as it costs more to heat than air-condition in these parts. An extended growing season is also a good thing as I like to still be able to pick my maters in October.
