Fewer Americans See Solid Evidence of Global Warming

Apparently according to this websites statistics there has been a sharp decline in the American Peoples belief in the phenomenon of Global Warming. According to Pew research center's study in april of 2008 71% 1,500 people who were surveyed believed there is solid evidence for global warming. from Sept. 30th to Oct 4th 2009 the same survey was held but this time only 57% of the people believe there is evidence. Overall 35% of the country thinks that Global Warming is a threat compared to 44% in april of 2008.

5 facts about this article

1.Whether they take place on the internet or off, traditional political activities remain the domain of those with high levels of income and education

2.There are hints that forms of civic engagement anchored in blogs and social networking sites could alter long-standing patterns that are based on socio-economic status

3.Those who use blogs and social networking sites as an outlet for civic engagement are far more active in traditional realms of political and nonpolitical participation than are other internet users. In addition, they are even more active than those who do not use the internet at all

4.The internet is now part of the fabric of everyday civic life. Half of those who are involved in a political or community group communicate with other group members using digital tools such as email or group websites

5.Those who make political donations are more likely to use the internet to make their contributions than are those who make charitable donations; however, large political donations are much less likely to be made online than are large charitable donations

Five Observations:

1. There is a Large gap between people with more income than that of less. the people with more are on the internet more.

2. Ethnicity has a big role it would seem, it looks like English Speaking Hispanics use the Internet more than anyone else, followed by White people.

3. the majority of people online are from the ages of 18-29, and there are more college graduates online, than people who did not finish or never attended college.

4. when it comes to cell Phone use, it would seem that the older generation uses their cell phones more than anyone else, ages 30-49, and right below them by not that much are people ages 18-29.

5.out of all three graphs the people who use the internet, cell phones, and high speed connections are people who have an income of over $75k a year. and older people ages 65 and older are at the bottom of each list.
