In total, about 36 percent of all survey respondents believe global warming is real and is caused by man. Approximately 35 percent of respondents have a significant degree of confidence in the underlying climate change science compared to 42 percent who had low confidence in the science.

They suggest less support than we had expected for the science that underlies current and proposed climate change policy,” Rudden said. “The results also illuminate the substantial differences in views between the United States and other nations participating in the Kyoto Protocols.”
