The Heat Over Global Warming

Americans generally agree that temperatures are climbing but there is
no consensus about what, if anything, to do about it.

July 12, 2006

Americans generally agree that the earth is getting warmer, but there
is less consensus about the cause of global warming or what should be
done about it. Roughly four-in-ten (41%) believe human activity such
as burning fossil fuels is causing global warming, but just as many
say either that warming has been caused by natural patterns in the
earth’s environment (21%), or that there is no solid evidence of
global warming (20%).

The public also is divided over the gravity of the problem. While 41%
say global warming is a very serious problem, 33% see it as somewhat
serious and roughly a quarter (24%) think it is either not too
serious or not a problem at all. Consequently, the issue ranks as a
relatively low public priority, well behind education, the economy,
and the war in Iraq.
