Comment 35% of Americans are still uninformed (Score 1) 963
Yes, there are very few credible scientists that have dissenting views on climate change. The big problem that's holding back real climate change policy reform in Washington is that a large minority of American's are uniformed about what the scientists think. Yale's Project on Climate Change Communication project published Global Warming's Six Americas in May 2011 (pdf) that concluded: 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and caused by humans...but 35% of American adults are dismissive, doubtful, or disengaged about climate change.

Until we shrink the 35% of non-believers, Washington will probably continue to drag their feet. We have an Ad Proposal to Teach America that Climate Change is real and caused by humans. Our hope is the Ad will help shrink the 35% of non-believers so there is more pressure on the policy makers in Washington to fix the global warming problem.
