(Sorry for the overly alliterative title!) A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle detailed a new Rassmussen poll showing that only 34 percent of Americans believe that climate change is caused by human activity. This is actually a pretty disturbing number, considering that the mounting urgency of climate change requires immediate action. Combine that with the overwhelming consensus among the scientific community, and it is clear that the message is not getting across.
What we need is some sort of education program to show not only the effects of climate change, but how Americans can reduce their impact. This way, we can not only show that human activities do indeed have an impact on climate change, but that each individual is responsible in this monumental fight.
