Four of every five Alaskans believe the Earth is getting warmer, a new poll suggests, and most of them think global climate change is transforming the landscape as the summer Arctic ice pack shrinks, forests burn and fall storms batter coastal villages.
Could be good for tourism, though.
Those are some of the findings from a lengthy survey of more than 1,000 residents across the state, conducted by pollster and public opinion researcher Jean Craciun between May 9 and June 29 and financed by a grant from the National Science Foundation. The poll, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, was commissioned by an Oregon research group that received the grant to study how people perceive and respond to risks.
It is kind of hard to miss for us with all of our glaciers turning into ice cubes and all.
We even almost had a season called autumn this year. Weird!
