Evidence shows troubling warming of the planet.

Despite a ‘noisy’ planet, climate evidence over hundreds of years makes a compelling case, one the public by wide margins accepts.

Public opinion surveying consistently indicates* that large portions of the U.S. population understand that global warming is happening and occurring at a troubling pace. By a ratio of six-to-one (72% to 12%), the public accepts global warming as a reality.

Six-to-one odds like that would be widely accepted as good news in any sports contest or election. So much so that some wonder what factors are driving that dismissive 12%, or the remaining 16% who declare that they just don’t know.
