65 Percent Of Americans Understand Global Warming Is Making Our Weather More Extreme | 65 percent of Americans understand that global warming is making extreme weather in the United States worse, the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication reports. Most Americans agreed that the record heat, droughts, floods, snowfall, and Hurricane Irene were made worse by global warming (though 46 percent were willing to agree that the East Coast earthquake also had a global warming influence, reflecting the public’s misunderstanding of the nature of manmade climate change). 38 percent of Americans said they have personally experienced the effects of global warming.
