New research by Barry Rabe on American public opinion of climate change was published in a Brookings Institution report, "The Climate of Belief: American Public Opinion on Climate Change." In this report, Rabe and co-author Christopher P. Borick present key findings from a 2009 survey of American adults exploring whether Americans believe global temperatures are rising and views on possible policy interventions and engagement by various levels of American government. A full description and analysis of these findings will appear in a forthcoming Brookings Institution Press book, edited by Rabe, called "Greenhouse Governance: Addressing Climate Change in America."
