The proportion of Americans who believe global warming is a fact and is mostly caused by emissions from vehicles and industrial facilities has dropped considerably this year, according to a poll by Angus Reid Public Opinion. 44 per cent of respondents side with this argument, down seven points since July.
Conversely, 22 per cent of Americans believe global warming is happening but is mostly caused by natural changes, and 23 per cent think global warming is a theory that has not yet been proven.
