Best Answer

A recent poll of American attitudes, undertaken by the Pew Research Center, showed that only 33 per cent did not believe that global warming is real, while only 17 per cent said that global warming is not a problem. These responses are somewhat contradictory, since you would expect that eveyone who answered that global warming is not real would also answer that it is not a problem. Nevertheless, it is the 17 per cent who are genuinely unconcerned, plus perhaps a further 15 per cent who saw it as a problem, but not too serious.

If only 17 to 32 per cent of the general population see no reason to be concerned about global warming, then our perceptions of widespread views that it is not a problem really result from the statements of a small but vocal minority, including those with vested interests.

Why do people have to think that global warming is real?

People are free to choose whether to believe that global warming is real, and no one says that they must believe the scientific evidence for global warming.

Also, people who accept the reality that global warming is happening are the people who will be able to provide the leadership needed to solve the problem.
