Yale Climate Opinion Maps

Go here to see the results of a survey of public opinion on climate change. The responses are mapped out by state, congressional district and county. They questioned beliefs, risk perceptions and policy support.

They found that 63% of the respondents believe that global warming is happening. At the other end of the scale, 57% do not believe that global warming is harming people in the U.S. now, and 55% believe that global warming will cause them little to no personal harm.

On the positive side, 77% support funding research into renewable energy sources.
