Only if you consider 24% of Americans an “overwhelming” number of people.
Via CNS News:
Recent polls put climate change low on the list of Americans’ pressing concerns, but that’s not how EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy sees it:
“From all the recent public opinion work out there on climate change, what stands out to me is this: First, people overwhelmingly consider climate change a problem, and they want action. And second, what’s even more impressive, is the overwhelming support specifically for EPA action to curb carbon pollution from power plants.”
McCarthy spoke Friday at a Conference on Energy and the Environment at Georgetown University. […]
Likewise, a Gallup poll in March 2014 found that only 24 percent of Americans worried a great deal about climate change. In that poll, both “climate change” and “quality of the environment” were near the bottom of a list of 15 issues Gallup asked Americans to rate. Only “race relations” ranked lower than those two issues in Gallup’s March 6-9 survey.
