A poll indicates the U.S. residents are less concerned about global warming than they were three years ago. Gallup's Environment poll indicated that 51% of Americans say they worry a great deal about climate change and global warming, when in 2008, it was 66%. This decline can be seen as a result of Americans' changed knowledge and opinions about global warming. The poll found 43% of Americans to believe that the news exaggerates the seriousness of global warming while 26% believed the news to be generally correct. Less agreement was found on what American's thought were causing global warming, but still coming in at more than half, 52% believed temperature increases are mainly caused by pollution from human activities.
