A Yale survey found that 3/4 of Americans believe anthropogenic climate change is really happening. Of course, this comes after an exceptionally hot and drought-y summer and we already know that opinions on climate change oscillate with the weather. To really get a good picture of whether acceptance of climate change is on the rise, we’d have to look at a variety of polls, conducted in different ways by different organizations. And we’d have to look for changes in the trend line over long periods of time, so we know we’re looking at an actual, long-term shift. Which all sounds oddly familiar, now that I think about it.
