"Doctoral student" Jeremy Jacquot weighs in

The American Enterprise Institute: Still Peddling Lies, Lies and More Lies About Global Warming | DeSmogBlog
At some level, it’s hard not to feel sympathy for global warming skeptics. It must take a lot of resolve and perseverance to keep pushing an idea that everyone knows is blatantly false(presumably, them too). That is, until you actually start reading some of the material they try to pass off as sober-minded research.
Huffington Post: Jeremy Jacquot
Jeremy Jacquot writes about politics and science for TreeHugger and DeSmogBlog. He is a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, where he studies environmental chemistry and water management.

He obtained his B.S. in marine biology from UCLA in 2005 and spent an ill-fated year at UCSF, as a dental student, before coming to his senses. He has also contributed to VentureBeat, Science Progress, LAist and Discover Magazine.
It depends on your definition of "everyone"
The study — the American Climate Values Survey (ACVS), conducted by the consulting group EcoAmerica — also found that only 18 percent of survey respondents strongly believe that climate change is real, human-caused and harmful. It also found that political party affiliation is the single largest indicator as to whether people see climate change as a threat.
