Majority of Americans See Global Warming as a Threat

April 18th, 2007 by Jeremy

The New York Times/CBS News poll found that the majority of Americans see global warming as a threat. The poll has some very interesting numbers. By now I would say that the people that disagree are in denial, and I got a kick reading about the small percentage of people that would still disagree rather than the fact that the majority recognizes the treat of global warming. One example that gave me a chuckle is that 84% of Americans believe that human activity has at least contributed to warming.

The poll found that although the majority of people agree that something must be done to prevent global warming, there is a lot of debate on how it is to be accomplished. However one solution that the majority did agree on is to increase our use of renewable energies such as solar and wind power, as well as switching to ethanol based from corn.
