More Americans are alarmed by global warming than ever before, survey reveals
CNN ^ | January 17, 2020 | By Drew Kann

The proportion of Americans who are "alarmed" by global warming tripled over the last five years and is now at an all-time high, a new survey shows.

Almost 6 in 10 Americans are either "alarmed" or "concerned" by global warming, marking what researchers say is a major shift in public perception of the issue.

The survey was conducted by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and George Mason University's Center for Climate Change Communication, which together have tracked Americans' views on climate change since 2008.

The findings show that as the global climate changes rapidly, a growing proportion of Americans view the climate crisis as an actual crisis.

This new urgency felt my many Americans stands in sharp contrast to the policies of the Trump administration, which has rolled back dozens of environmental regulations, many of which were aimed at curbing climate change.

Indeed, the shift in public opinion hasn't yet been translated into meaningful policy at the federal level, says Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication who co-led the survey.

"The overall trend is a major shift in the political climate of climate change in this country, but in terms of (the 'alarmed') exerting its full political force, it is yet to do so because it is still relatively unorganized," he said.

I am concerned and alarmed, I am concerned with the alarm.
It can all be traced to K-12 indoctrination.

Alarmed at the propaganda, yes. A Satanic cult whose true goal is the elimination of over 95% of the human population.

It just shows that Joseph Goebbels was right.
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” & “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

It’s twue, it’s twue.
Now, almost 1% of the population believes in human caused climate change.
Most are MSM fans, incapable of understanding the most simple of logical concepts.

“Alarmed”

How many personal tax dollars alarmed? $1000/year? $10,000? I’d guess less than $1 alarmed. Talk is cheap.

Some will say that they’re ‘alarmed’, because they feel pressured to agree with the state of urgency.
Privately, they may not give a care.
Others will tell the truth, whether the questioner seems to like their answer or not.
Sort of like asking random people “Are you a Trump supporter?”

I am alarmed by the global warming alarmists. I find their false alarms to be, well, alarming. So where do I fit in in this survey?

A great explanation and exposure of the Climate Change Fraud:

Climate change: What can I do about it and other questions?
Answer: Absolutely nothing.

Climate change: What can the government do about it?
Answer: Absolutely nothing.

Climate change: What can the Democrats do about it?
Answer: Steal your money, wreck the economy and in the end absolutely nothing.

False advertising.

Headline should read: “...more Americans alarmed by false Global Warming advertising...”

And the earth is flat, too.

Opinion (ginned up) doesn't make it so.
