Multnomah County has the state's highest percentage of global warming believers, according to new figures from Yale University. According to the university's national climate change opinions map, 74 percent of residents believe global warming is happening, while 13 percent don't buy it.
The newly released figures are based on a complex statistical analysis of public perceptions about climate change in every state, congressional district and county across the country.
Washington, D.C. residents led the nation in climate change affirmation, with 81 percent of residents. Floridians' title as the nation's biggest climate change deniers.
Curious what your neighbors think about global warming? Check out Yale's interactive map to find out.

And that, folks, is why Oregon is in such a mess...the stupidity rules.
Cool! They managed to map gullibility and stupidity!
Next, a Google Earth house-by-house breakdown so you can go picket and threaten the homes of “deniers”.
I wouldn’t even know how to answer that question. You would have to define what you meant by “global warming”. Do I accept global warming hysteria? No. Do I believe that sometime between the 1970’s and 1990’s there was a slight, probably benign, possibly beneficial increase in mean global temperature? Perhaps.
These are the same idiots that would have burned people at the stake back centuries ago if they refused to believe the earth is FLAT !
Look at the question that most scientists believe it is happening.
Less than 50% coast to coast!, interesting.
Yes, if they can generate this map, they have the all data they need to identify the respondents, individually. And if you can be identified individually you can be targeted, individually.
This is why you don’t answer pollsters, canvassers and the like. Ever.
I’ve, personally, met only one person in Louisiana who said he believed in global warming. That is not a poll, but I think this poll is nonsense.
It doesn’t matter unless it becomes necessary to find them to clean them out
Asking the wrong question. Instead of asking if you believe humans are responsible for climate change, pollsters work on the assumption that it’s caused by humans and ask if you believe climate change is occurring. That is a very deceptive way of polling.
I’d shy away from that too. You’ll end up with Progressives innundating you with all sorts of propaganda, donation requests, demands to take part in rallies and the like.
Back in the mid-80s my Mom, a sucker for cute baby animals, fell for one of the Greenpeace “Save the Baby Seals” campaign. Sent them $5.
She’s STILL getting mail from them. And the mail she gets from other Progressive nutjob groups, Democrat candidates and the like certainly stems from Greenpeace sharing or selling their lists with their fellow traveller activist buddies.
The positive side is that they’ve certainly spent magnitudes more than her initial/only $5 donation trying to get more money from her. AND all the junk mail has contributed to environmental problems :-)
I was even surprised when, being up for a visit some years ago, I took one of the groups’ (can’t remember if it was Greenpeace or not) no-postage-required first class return mailers, taped it to a wrapped up brick and sent it off.
Didn’t complete my thought there.
I was surprised they didn’t yank her off their lists after that first class postage paid brick I sent back to one of them ...
Or....... the rational people can find out where the others live.
Never thought I say this, but:
Hooray for West Virginia!
This about says it all:
About the Data
Public opinion estimates ...by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason Center for Climate Change Communication.
This research and website are funded by the Skoll Global Threats Fund, the Energy Foundation, the 11th Hour Project, the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, and the V.K. Rasmussen Foundation.
In other words, "We were paid to say this. Believe and hold your open wallet right about-------->here."
The Right Wing is no different. If I decide to support one single candidate, the list get handed around and I get swamped with snail mail, email, and phone calls, nonstop, from every wannabe free loader!
I took one of the groups’ (can’t remember if it was Greenpeace or not) no-postage-required first class return mailers, taped it to a wrapped up brick and sent it off.
I take a trip to the hardware store and buy a bunch of "fender washers" which are large diameter and nice and thick, and their cost is minimal. You can get 4 or 5 of them into a #10 business envelope and they don't look quite so obvious.

So over seven million people in my home state of New Jersey answered this survey..
Very true, just used Greenpeace as a personal anecdotal example of how it works. I’ve studiously stayed off of political mailing lists, at least through my own actions.
I do take generic political mailings from Dems and Progs and forward them, anonymously, to the Republican candidate and State RNC. Those numbers have spiked somewhat since the big Obama “get in their faces” datagathering effort in 2008. Where I had a couple sets of neighbors show up at my door repeatedly trolling for politically identifying information. I told them that my personal set of ethics and the line of work I’m in precluded me from identifying one way or another. They were EXTREMELY persistant, at one point coming back with a printout of the section of law stating that I didn’t need to worry about anything like employer reprisals, etc. I’m guessing that I was one of the few holdouts in the neighborhood and they were being pressured by campaign staff to hit their magic 100% quota :-D
