Many Americans seem unworried, the Zogby Interactive survey showed that the percentage not at all concerned about global climate change rose to 37 percent from 27 percent in 2007, while only 20 percent said they were highly concerned, compared with 37 percent in 2007.
Stephen Harned, executive director for the National Weather Association, and a 36-year veteran of the National Weather Service, exlained further, "Well, I think people respond to what is going on around them. In the last couple of years, especially in the Eastern part of the United States, weather patterns have been quite normal,"
The survey also showed 68 percent of Republicans and 46 percent of political independents said they are not at all concerned about global climate change and global warming, compared to just 7 percent of Democrats.
The online interactive survey of 3,072 adults nationwide was conducted December 8-10.
