Only 18 percent of survey respondents strongly believe that climate change is real, human-caused and harmful.

Compund questions like this aren't the best way to figure out what people think on these issues.

For example, I believe that climate change is real, human activities may play a part and that the long-term effects will be mixed.

I believe that climate change is real and has been through earth’s history (as a natural phenonemon), that ‘global warming’ has been massively hyped and human activities play a small part in hte climate today, and that there is no crisis requiring instant change in our behavior. I also know that there are many positive impacts from increased CO2 that are often ignored.

I also know more about this topic than your average journalist, so I am quite frightened that most people “know” about global warming through the nonsense of journalists.

How this would play out in a poll is mixed.
