Fewer Americans Believe in Climate Change, According to Poll
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a recent poll showing that only half of Americans believe in climate change.
Skepticism is strongest among Republicans and lower-income groups, signaling a notable shift from previous public opinion trends.
If belief in climate change continues to decline, it could impact government funding for climate initiatives and shift U.S. energy policies toward more fossil fuel use.
With the U.S. already the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter after China, this trend could have global consequences.
