New study finds American public opinion is becoming increasingly alarmed about global warming

MIT Climate Portal

This is encouraging news regarding public opinion about the seriousness of the problem. Activists need to keep talking about the effects that climate change is already having on people and the planet to build support for the changes in policy that we need to address the problem. Whatever one thinks about all the particulars of the "Green New Deal", the fact that this framing is getting attention and sparking debate is a promising sign.
