Results from a new survey out from the Yale Project on Climate Change and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication reveal that adults between the ages of 18 and 34 are significantly less engaged on the subject of global warming than their older counterparts.  From the Yale 360 blog:

“Adults under 35 are significantly less likely than older Americans to say they have thought about global warming, with 22 percent saying they have never thought about the issue. Only 38 percent of younger Americans say they had previously thought about global warming either ‘a lot’ or “some,” compared to 51 percent of those aged 35 to 59.”

The study also found younger adults to be as divided on the question that never seems to go away – whether or not climate change is real, and we’re contributing to it – as older adults.

But have you seen evidence to the contrary?  If not, why might this be?  There’s also a video debate on the possible implications of the data.
