Polling data shows an almost an equal number of people believe two completely different things: About 1 in 5 people surveyed were so concerned about global warming that they think it will make it more difficult to live in their area. About the same number said they either don’t know if climate change is happening or don’t believe in it at all.

The poll even found links between how Americans perceive the weather and their views on climate change. People who don’t believe in climate change often were less likely to report an increase in extreme weather.

The polarized divide over climate change is well documented, but the latest data sheds new light on Americans’ experiences with extreme weather, how experiencing extreme weather affects Americans’ view of climate change, and the nation’s largely pessimistic predictions about the changing climate.
