      Please to see this favorable polling on public perception/acceptance of the science of climate change. But @NBCNews, please don't frame this as a matter of "belief"! Gravity acts whether or not you "believe" it. Climate change is real whether or not you "believe it".https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1080157433018937344 …

      70% of Americans believe “global warming is happening” and 57% believe “global warming is being caused mostly by human activities," according to a massive survey. https://nbcnews.to/2EY8rIa

      Problem goes deeper, @MichaelEMann. The "belief" language permeates the press release and other materials from the folks who conducted the poll @amcommpro @YaleClimateComm https://www.americancommunities.org/where-american-communities-agree-and-disagree-on-climate-change/ …pic.twitter.com/z7xlrLdAF8

      Replying to @Revkin @MichaelEMann and

      I appreciate your points of view, but both pieces are about what people believe. If people didn't believe in gravity that would be a huge story and it would need to be reported. The NBC piece in particular is about why the policies don't change-it's about what Republicans believe

          Issue's w/ the polling org rather than @NBCNews (who is reporting their findings). Framing of the question influences the poll result: By using "believe" rather than "accept", pollsters misleadingly convey this as opinion rather than scientific fact.

          Would love to see a controlled polling study. I hypothesize (yes--this is a prediction!) that use of "believe" rather than "accept" leads to several % points lower result...

          It's a good question. For those who are deeply dug in, "accept" may be even a bigger trigger. For us at the ACP, the uniformity of opinion was actually surprising. These places are very different and the people in them tend to disagree on many issues.

          Thanks--I'm skeptical about that. I don't think those who are "dug in" will change their response (and they are a very small % of public). More important is large "confused middle" & using "believe" likely reinforces (false) notion that there is legitimate scientific debate.

          You might be right. It would be a fascinating test.
