THE financial crisis made Americans less worried about climate change. The Democrats' attempt to pass sweeping climate legislation in 2009 and 2010 probably reduced Americans' anxiety level as well, as paradoxical as that may sound. But now Americans are getting more worried again.
About 69 per cent of adults say that global warming is either a "very serious" or "somewhat serious" problem, according to a new Pew Research Center poll, up from 63 per cent in 2010. The level of concern has still not returned to that of a decade ago; in 2006, 79 per cent of adults called global warming serious.
