Climate Change Polls

Hello Reader,

If you are looking for information about my dissertation survey, please see the links on the left side of the page.

Otherwise, I wanted to share this op-ed piece by a professor from Stanford. The piece essentially points out that the results of many of the climate change related polls in the US are in fact misleading. It also describes the results of the professor's study that indicate that not only do the vast majority of Americans believe that anthropogenic climate change (a.k.a. 'global warming') is occurring, but that the majority of Americans also believe that the government should do something about it!

I was surprised by the conclusions in the article, so I definitely recommend it for anyone interested in public opinion on climate change.

Enjoy,

Sean Diamond
