Majority of US voters link extreme weather to climate crisis, study finds

A new poll shows that a majority of Americans now link increasingly severe weather to the climate crisis, even as Donald Trump continues to dismiss global heating as a hoax. The findings suggest that public concern about climate change is persisting despite political efforts to downplay it. A top Democratic official commented that the public is ahead of politicians on this issue, while climate strategist Grace Adcox noted that attempts to polarize the topic may not be fully succeeding. The article cites recent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, drought, and floods as context for the survey results.
