Pew released new data Thursday that shows only 48% of Americans believe climate change is the result of human activityâa view shared by a vast majority of scientistsâand fewer people believe it now than when the same question was asked in 2019 and 2022.
The latest data shows 22% of people believe the warming of the Earth is due to natural climate patterns, 17% say they aren't sure what's causing it and 12% say they don't think there's solid evidence the Earth is warming at all.
Most Democrats (75%) who responded to the Pew survey said climate change is the result of human activity, while Republicans had much more varied views: 21% said it was because of human activity, 37% said it was a naturally occurring phenomena, 19% said they aren't sure and 23% don't think evidence supports the warming of the Earth.
The Pew survey also found that the more educated a person was, the more likely they were to believe climate change is the fault of humansâ62% of people with post-graduate college education believe humans are causing the Earth to warm, while only 56% of college graduates felt the same, 45% of people with some college education believe it and only 40% of people with high school diplomas or less education think humans are at fault.
The majority of Americans (68%) do concede that extreme weather events are happening more often in the U.S., though Democrats (85%) are almost twice as likely to believe it than Republicans.
I'd imagine the percentage here in Derplahoma is FAR higher. Drill, baby drill!

The critical Atlantic current system appears significantly more likely to collapse than previously thought after new research found that climate models predicting the biggest slowdown are the most realistic. Scientists called the new finding âvery concerningâ as a collapse would have catastrophic consequences for Europe, Africa and the Americas.
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc) is a major part of the global climate system and was already known to be at its weakest for 1,600 years as a result of the climate crisis. Scientists spotted warning signs of a tipping point in 2021 and know that the Amoc has collapsed in the Earthâs past. (...)
