Americans’ Understanding of Climate Change is on the Rise

- 82% support funding research into renewable energy sources.
- 74% support regulating CO2 as a pollutant.
- 69% think global warming will harm future generations
We’re starting to get it! We now need to translate these desires into actions, quickly.
