Fox News poll: 77 percent of Americans believe in Global Warming
NEW YORK — Most Americans believe global warming exists and a majority thinks it is a major problem — if not a crisis, according to a recent FOX News poll. Even so, less than half think they personally can do anything about the problem.

The new national poll finds that 77 percent of Americans believe global warming is happening and, of those, more than twice as many think it is caused by human behavior (46 percent) than by normal climate patterns (17 percent). About a third says it is a combination of both (30 percent).

• Watch the FOX News Channel special, "The Heat Is On: The Case of Global Warming," Sunday, November 13 at 8 p.m. ET

10. don't get too jolly over this.
americans believe lots of stuff that is just plain silly, so the fact that 77% believe in the reality of global warming is not something to take comfort from.

Global Warming and Angels have similar 'belief support':

6. And if you clap loud enough...
Tinker Bell will get better (after drinking poison)!.

Believe?

Believe?

Faith and opinion have nothing to do with the damned facts, FOX.

Just report the damned facts and stop turning every subject into a damned opinion poll!

7. We don't need no steenkin beliefs. We need facts, plain and simple.
Fox: Stop catapulting propaganda. Tell the truth without malice or bias -- just the plain facts. Thank you very much.

12. I can't believe I'm saying this...
I guess we'll have to wait and see but if the show reflects the content and tone expressed in the description, but the preview of the Fox Special on Global Warming looks like it may be pretty good.

11. "Believe"...hahaha...now that's funny...
Like they are so damn sheepish that they are deciding, or not, to "believe" in something that is a scientific fact.

What about the remaining 23%?
Jeesus what a land of dumbfucks.
