Document Summary
Gallup polls conducted in 127 countries in 2007 and 2008 reveal that more than a third of the world"s population has never heard of global warming. The percentage of people who report knowing "something" or a "great deal" about global warming ranged from a low of 15% in liberia to a high of 99% in japan. Across these 127 countries, the median percentage of people who report knowing about global warming is 62%. And when the silent people of this country act, be it with their vote or their dollar, the economy and communities in which we live will respond. We will be better off for it, and we will see history being made as we change our destiny according to the people at the bottom of this pyramid. On far too many occasions, researchers and pollsters ask questions that skew the results. These questions can be leading and create false assumptions or false comparisons.
