Generation X Unconcerned About Climate Change
From USA Today
Amid a summer of record-setting heat, a new survey finds that most of Generation X ‘s young and middle-aged adults are uninformed and unconcerned about climate change.
Only about 5% of Gen Xers, now 32 to 52 years old, are “alarmed” and 18% “concerned” about climate change, reports the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research on Tuesday. Two-thirds, or 66%, of those surveyed last year said they aren’t sure global warming is happening and 10% said they don”t believe it’s occurring.
