Yale University released a national study last week showing that most Americans understand very little about how the climate system works, including the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to global warming. The study, “Americans’ Knowledge of Climate Change” finds that a large majority (63%) of Americans believe global warming is really happening, but many...
