Home / Climate Change in the American Mind: October 2015
The number of Americans who say they discuss global warming with family and friends at least occasionally has increased by 9 percentage points over the past six months, from 26% in spring 2015 to 35% in the fall. Although most Americans rarely or never discuss it (65%), this proportion has decreased 9 points (from 74%) since last spring.
