Jeffrey Jones. Gallup

Roughly one in three Americans say they’ve experienced extreme weather in the last two years, including nearly half of the South. However, few think of extreme temperatures when asked to provide examples of “extreme weather” events. Americans who say that winter in their area this season was warmer than usual (42% of Americans) are more likely to say that warmer winter temperatures are due to climate change (62%) than natural variation (36%).
