According to this Yale study 85% of Americans believe cars and trucks contribute to global warming (Q26), 80% believe burning fossil fuels for heat and electricity contribute to global warming, 74% believe deforestation contributes to global warming, large majorities also falsely believe that aerosol sprays (76%) and toxic waste (66%) contribute to global warming.
Somehow 42% reject anthropomorphic climate change (Q4) altogether, even though at least a third of those in denial think driving their kids to soccer is contributing to global warming.
