FOXNews.com - Fox News Poll: Majority of Americans Don't See Global Warming As Crisis
Just over half of Americans (51 percent) believe in "man-made" global warming, that is, believe it is caused by human behavior (33 percent), or by both people and climate patterns (18 percent).
...About one in six Americans (17 percent) think the global warming situation is a crisis, which is essentially the same number who thought so when the question was asked last in 2005.
...
Americans put addressing the issue of global warming at the bottom of the national to-do list. When asked about the most important issues for the government to be working on right now, fixing the economy (27 percent) and creating jobs (26 percent) are the two top items -- far outdistancing all others.
The remaining issues -- including health care -- are bunched together with much less support: reforming health care (10 percent), handling Iraq and Afghanistan (8 percent), reducing the deficit (7 percent) and cutting taxes (6 percent). Addressing global warming comes last among these issues at 2 percent.
