 Women believe climate change more than men: research

The debate over climate change has officially become a ‘he said, she said’ argument.

Forget the northern ice flows and hot winds across the deserts, now it’s a divide between men and women.

An associate professor of sociology at Michigan State University has found there’s a gender gap when it comes to picking through the science of climate change.

Aaron McCright — in research published in the journal Population and Environment — culled through eight years of Gallup polling in the US, to find that women are more committed to the idea of global climate change than are men.

“A greater percentage of women than men worry about global warming a great deal (35% to 29%), believe global warming will threaten their way of life during their lifetime (37% to 28%) and believe the seriousness of global warming is underestimated in the news (35% to 28%),” he concluded.

And now, some analysts have seized on the data as proof that male voices have dominated the questioning of climate science.
    

McCright first examined which people were more likely to believe in the idea that there is a scientific consensus that humans are the cause of global warming. Women, more than men, accepted this as fact.
