Analysis: 1 in 3 Americans blame climate change for weird winter temperatures

Few would blame those gripped by the cold for not thinking very much about global warming.New polling shows that one in three Americans blamed unusual winter temperatures on Earth's changing climate., indicates U.S. residents are becoming more likely to attribute unusual weather in their own backyards — including even that teeth-chattering cold this winter — to broader global changes in the planet's climate because of human activity.

Similarly, 70 percent of those Americans who reported higher-than-usual temperatures this year blamed those usually mild conditions on climate change. That's up significantly from 2012, when 38 percent of such respondents saw global warming as responsible for the balmier conditions. And human beings in general are much less reliable measurers of temperature than a regular-old mercury thermometer.

Gallup's results are part of its annual report on Americans' attitudes about climate change, which will be released in full next week.

...and of course they are mistaken because weather and climate are two different things, as is correctly understood by 2 of 3 Americans polled.

Which means 2 out of 3 know Global Warming is a hoax made up with Pseudo Science, push by Globalist Fascist Socialist.

I think realDonaldTrump should get blamed if it's not climate change

Really

Lol ok

Wow, only 1 in 3. I want to say I am surprised, but I am not. Gotta love politics! GOP=No climate change it's nature/happens. DNC=Emergency alternative, no more cows, etc. Ask a farmer (or 1000), older, honest farmers, with experience and see what they say. I know, I've seen it.

Yes it’s climate change and it will change again and again and again. Just like it has done since the beginning of time. 🤔

Sad. Too many sheeple get hoodwinked by the Fakety Fake McFake news.

hahaha , they should blame Sand Monkey Qatari Money , 500 M $ to AL GORE for his defiant TV , on top of his 5 retirement benefits as a loser he needs to something to looks important so he find the HOAX of climate change ,,, if the SOB has to work 12 to 16 hours to make a living,

Alternative headline: 2/3 of Americans aren’t deluded cultists.

Honestly Wapo, who gives a sh*t what Americans think about climate change?! 97% of the scientific community confirm climate change caused by human behavior is real, that’s the only stat you should be reporting on.

Well I'm proud to say that I'm NOT one of those brainwashed 1 in 3....one day maybe just maybe that 1 in 3 will come to realize mother nature has been adjusting her house with climate changes since the dawn of time and there's nothing a liberal can do to stop it or change it!

And that’s far lower than it should be

Google it to find out ? There's your clue.

Good on you guys you catching on aren’t you. Keep up now you may just get there. You are an advanced nation aren’t you.

What happened to Global Warming? Ya just switch titles to suit whatever the weather's doing at the time?

So 2 in 3 don't

Analysis | The disconnect between the Trump administration and reality on climate change keeps growingAnalysis: The disconnect between the administration and reality on climate change keeps growing POTUS does not believe in truth or science... Yes, but remember, there are two separate categories, 'weather' and 'climate.' Many folks, like the current administration, often confuse the two. The sad truth is, what the scientist predicted in the 1980's is happening - and we've been completely consumed by false reports on fossil fuel - we need to focus on the rain forests.
