As you know, most people who comment at WUWT, for example, already made up their mind well before they heard evidence about climate and what's causing it to change. If they do search for evidence - it's to find "evidence" that they think will support their "belief" - and stop right there. You may recall the confessions of deniers at WUWT (see here and here and here) and at Judith Curry's blog (see here).
But as John Cook said in that short interview, that's not the audience...
Strange results from people in the USA
I'd say at least half the people in the USA still don't have much of a clue about climate change. Yet a majority, in some instances only a very small majority:
- Do understand the global warming is happening (63% agree, 18% disagree)
- Are worried about it (52% agree, 48% disagree)
- Believe it will harm people in the USA (51% agree, 39% disagree)
- Believe it will harm people in developing countries (52% agree, 35% disagree)
- Believe it will harm future generations (61% agree, 26% disagree)
