15 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire The Sample 292 households submitted a completed on-line survey. -Postcard mailing and news media 412 UW-Eau Claire students surveyed by paper and pencil in economics, geography, and chemistry classes. 704 total respondents.
16 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire The Sample Student sample was 54% female and 46% male Household sample was 45% female and 55% male. In terms of age 93% of students were compared to only 13% of household respondents. The remaining age distribution for households was 20% age 25-44, 50% age and 17% over age 65.
17 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire The Sample Most households reported annual income between $40,000-$75, % earned less than $20, % earned over $100,000. Students were not asked about their income (they are poor).
18 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire The First Question
19 The First Question
20 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Global Warming Not Real The remaining questions are about the causes of global warming and what we should do to address it. 40 household respondents said GW is not happening. New N = student respondents said GW is not happening. New N = 402 These respondents were not asked further questions.
21 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Cause of Global Warming
22 Cause of Global Warming
23 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Cause of Global Warming
24 Cause of Global Warming
25 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Re-Cap Nearly all had an opinion regarding global warming. Public opinion somewhat divergent. A majority felt mostly human caused. Non-trivial amount of skepticism toward anthropogenic cause. Majority blame manufacturing most. Some uncertainty regarding most responsible sector.

33 What Should We Do
34 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Re-Cap Of those that believe global warming is real, general consensus that action should be led by government. Majority also support international agreement to reduce carbon emissions (even without China and India). Economy is most important current issue. -Environment is a distant 4th. Vast majority of reported little/no familiarity with the current US legislative proposals (especially students).

45 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Re-Cap Wind and solar perceived to be most effective alternative sources of energy. Nuclear and ethanol less so. Carbon tax, and cap & trade policies also not thought to be very effective strategies. Much uncertainty regarding effectiveness of alternatives/strategies, especially cap and trade, carbon capture, carbon tax and nuclear.
46 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire What Should We Do? Divergent opinions regarding if global warming is real and how concerned we should be. Uncertainty & divergent opinions regarding global warming causes. Consensus regarding need for government involvement, but uncertainty and divergent opinions regarding what alternatives and policy strategies would be most effective. Little to no familiarity with current legislative proposals. Need for increased public awareness!

51 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Public Awareness (Science) How much global warming science should people know? Temperature is rising. Climate models predicted this rise. GHGs trap heat. World Fossil Economy. Warming will have consequences, some possibly severe.
