Four in 10 Americans — or 39 percent — think the odds for human extinction because of climate change or global warming are 50 percent or more. But the majority of Americans, or 58 percent, think the odds of human extinction because of climate change is less than 50 percent, revealing that climate change is not a topic of universal agreement in the United States.
This divide is revealed in a Yale University report titled “Climate Change in the American Mind.”
“More than half of Americans (58%) believe climate change is mostly human caused,” the Yale report states. “That’s the highest level measured since our surveys began in 2008.

Hmmm. 4 in 10=39%? Must be a rounding error. In any case, the ecowankers would call that a consensus and round up to 98% of Americans agree we're in trouble. Or something. Save the polar bears.
40% of Americans are useful idiots.
15 or 20 years ago it would have been 25%. Now it’s 40%. We’re edging closer to Idiocracy.
Well, at least “the stupid” required to believe in AGW despite the evidence against it could potentially kill us all.
40+% of Americans voted for Hillary Clinton, too.
I’m surprised that Yale polled the pro-warming-religion crowd so low. Shocked, even.
It's the same 40%.
“40% of Americans Say Global Warming Can Cause Human Extinction,”
One can only hope.
“40% of Americans Say Global Warming Can Cause Human Extinction,”
Statistics can be used to prove anything. 80% of all people know that.
We should work with it.
Tell them:
"Yes, global warming is real, but we were wrong, it's actually caused by tofu and vegetarians, windpower turbines are disrupting the weather patterns, solar panels are overheating, the battery manufacturing industry is destroying the planet with carbon pollution and acid rain."
I just did my poll...When will I see it in the news? ;-)
The same 40% regard the bulk of humanity as a virus, so you’d think they would be celebrating global warming.
Isn’t that pretty much what greenies want? Save the planet! Kill the humans!
40% of Americans ruin the country for everyone.
In one way they are right.
If there is no time limit this may be true. The earth’s climate can change. A lot of dinosaurs didn’t make it. It might take millions of years and it might be gradual. Like with dinosaurs, some weasely humans may even make it, like Chuck Schumer or Rahm Emanuel.
just idiots, nothing useful about them.
This means that 40% of Americans have soft areas of their cranium and misshapen heads.
And 98% of democrats make the rest look bad.
The environmental extremists have got everyone brainwashed to the extent that when they say ‘global warming’ it automatically means man caused climate change. Don’t let them get away with it! When they say global warming, ask them if they’re talking about man caused climate change or natural climate fluctuations that have been occurring since the planet cooled.
Those 40 per cent could make their prediction come true by holding their breath until termination.
