WASHINGTON – Three of every four Americans view climate change as a serious problem that will harm future generations if not addressed, according to an Associated Press-Stanford University poll.

The survey also said that about the same number of people say the Earth probably already is warming, slightly fewer than the percentage expressing that view when asked the same question a year ago.

The AP-Stanford poll of 1,005 adults contacted by telephone in November suggests that people's concerns about climate change have not changed significantly.

That's contrary to several other recent surveys. In October, according to a poll of 1,500 adults conducted by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press, 57 percent said there is solid evidence the world is getting warmer. That was a 20 percent decline from three years earlier.

according to a poll of 1,500 adults

It's no secret that at least 50% of American adults are utter morons.

A poll in November...before or after the hoax was exposed?

How is it the AP is always the exact opposite of other polls on current issues?

Buried at the bottom of the story/bogus poll:

While three-quarters of respondents said they support action to combat climate change, just as many said they would oppose the "cap and trade" legislation to limit heat-trapping pollution if it raised their electricity bill by $25 a month.

“Freedom from Climate Injustice” would mostly involve Greenpeace, the UN and Obama just going away.

Nobody lies and shills like the Asspress. If they tell me it’s Saturday I look at the calendar.

What is serious is the politicalization of “science” with false data to ensure an outcome for someones agenda. It is at the point that we don’t know what the real data is that has been published in say the last 20 years.
