"Yeah, I think a lot of people will agree with Bill Gates that maybe this wouldn't be the end of humanity. And I think, you know, we've been talking about climate change now for decades, upon decades, upon decades. And the worry in terms of climate change, simply put, hasn't shifted, it has not reached the majority of Americans, mused Enten."
"What are we talking about? Greatly worried about climate. You go all the way back to 1989, it was 35%. 2000, 40%. 2020, 46%. And in 2025, look at that, it's 40%. The same number as we had 25 years ago, back in 2000, and then only just five points higher than we had back in 1989, really we've just seen consistency on this issue."
Public worry about climate change has remained relatively steady for decades, with 'greatly worried' responses around 35% in 1989, 40% in 2000, 46% in 2020, and 40% in 2025. Polling indicates that climate change does not rank as a top issue for most Americans, with only 3% naming it the top issue in 2021 and 2% in an average of 2023 polls. Observers note that messaging from those who view climate change as worrisome has not persuaded a majority. High-profile figures have moderated language about climate risks, suggesting it may not threaten humanity's existence.
