Re-CapRe-Cap
Of those with an opinion, approximately 90% of students in both China and the US believe GW is happening.
More uncertainty among US students (14% > 4%)
Chinese students report thinking about GW more and also say that it is more important to them
Over 85% of Chinese students believe that GW is primarily caused by human activity compared to just under 60% in the US
Chinese students report taking more actions to lessen their impact

Re-CapRe-Cap
US students are less convinced of agreement in the scientific community whether or not GW is happening
In addition, they are even less convinced of scientific agreement regarding whether or not GW is anthropogenic
Chinese students report a significantly higher level of familiarity with both national and international policies
Both favor international agreement (with/without other, China more)

Re-CapRe-Cap 98% of Liberals believe GW is happening compared to just
73% of Conservatives.
More uncertainty among Conservatives (17% > 9%)
Liberals report thinking about GW more and also say that it is more important to them (like Chinese)
Over 74% of Liberals believe that GW is primarily caused by human activity compared to just under 41% of Conservatives
Liberals report taking more actions to lessen their impact, but not as much as Chinese

Re-CapRe-Cap Skepticism of agreement in the scientific community as to whether
or not GW is happening as well as if it is anthropogenic, Conservatives more than Liberals
Some mechanism of information distortion in US for both Conservatives and Liberals
Conservatives and Liberals report being relatively unfamiliar with both national and international GW policies
Liberals are more in favor of joining an international CO2 reduction agreement (even more so than China)

No real differences between selected political groups in China…
The Chinese believe GW is happening, and they also believe that it is anthropogenic
The Chinese government states GW is real and that it is anthropogenic
They teach it in schools
No real debate about GW in China

…AR4 – a “state of the planet” report…AR4 – a “state of the planet” reportAR4 (2007):
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level.”
Global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have increased markedly as a result of human activities since 1750 and now far exceed pre-industrial values determined from ice cores spanning many thousands of years.
There is very high confidence that the net effect of human activities since 1750 has been one of warming.
Advances since the TAR show that discernible human influences extend beyond average temperature to other aspects of climate. Anthropogenic warming over the last three decades has likely had a discernible influence at the global scale on observed changes in many physical and biological systems.
Anthropogenic warming and sea level rise would continue for centuries due to the time scales associated with climate processes and feedbacks, even if GHG concentrations were to be stabilized.
