Massachusetts: For alarmists, more dismal polling results

Mass. residents differ on threat from manmade climate change - The Green Blog - A Boston Globe blog on living Green in Boston
The survey, called “The 80 Percent Challenge: A Survey of Climate Change Opinion and Action in Massachusetts” found that 77 percent of those surveyed say global warming has probably been happening – and 33 percent believe it is caused at least partially by human activity and very serious. Another 26 percent, however, who believe it is real and caused somewhat by humans do not see it as a serious threat.

Twenty-four percent of residents are considered “dubious”, meaning they are unsure global warming is real or believe it is drive by natural causes while another 17 percent are “dismissive”, meaning they do not believe it is real.
...
• Only a third of residents with annual incomes above $100,000 say it will be a very serious problem for Massachusetts if left unaddressed compared to half (49 percent) of residents with income between $50,000 and $100,000 annually.
