New Jerseyans Concerned But Lack Knowledge About Climate Change

Two-thirds of New Jerseyans are concerned about the impact that climate change will have on them, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll conducted in collaboration with the New Jersey Climate Change Alliance at Rutgers University. …

“Views on climate change are starkly divided by partisanship and other key demographic factors,” said Ashley Koning, assistant research professor and director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling (ECPIP) at Rutgers University–New Brunswick. “Some groups are much more concerned than others, and this concern drives knowledge, access to different types of information, and support for related initiatives. Yet no matter the level of concern, New Jerseyans across the board are against personally paying for most solutions – symptomatic of their larger dissatisfaction with taxes and cost of living in the Garden State.” CONT.
