Only seventy-one percent of Americans think that climate change is real. Nine percent say it’s not real, and nineteen percent are unsure. Out of those 71% that do believe, just 60% believe that human activities are to blame (Is the Public Willing To Pay To Help Fix Climate Change?). Climate Change is something that has been observed for many years. From 1787 to 1987 about 737 billion tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) was put into the atmosphere. From 1987 to 2014 it was more, 745 billion tons (Scharf). The number is almost equal, in only 27 years as opposed to 200.
