Global Warming’s Six Americas

The document presents longitudinal data on U.S. public perceptions of global warming, categorizing adults into six segments: Alarmed, Concerned, Cautious, Disengaged, Doubtful, and Dismissive. It tracks these percentages across 29 survey waves from November 2008 to October 2023 and provides a breakdown of 'Alarmed or Concerned' responses by political party for late 2022 and 2023.

• Between November 2008 and October 2023, the percentage of U.S. adults categorized as 'Alarmed' regarding global warming fluctuated, starting at 17% in November 2008 and reaching 28% by October 2023.
• Political affiliation is strongly associated with levels of concern about global warming. In October 2023, 82% of Democrats were categorized as either 'Alarmed or Concerned', compared to 28% of Republicans.
