More Americans said they trust their own observations on climate change compared to 78 percent who say they trust scientists, while fewer than half trust the U.S. government.

Seventy-nine percent of Americans say they trust their own observations on climate change compared to 78 percent who say they trust scientists and fewer than half who trust the U.S. government.

Fewer than one-third of Americans surveyed, 29 percent, said they believe human activity and pollution is a cause behind climate change. According to NASA, the average global temperature has increased by 0.8 degrees Celsius and 18 of the world's 19 warmest years have happened since 2001. More than one-quarter of Americans surveyed are concerned about the negative effects of climate change -- just not right now. About 26 percent said climate change should be addressed either in"the next few years" or"further in the future."
