I don´t live in America and, as far as my experience goes, I don´t encounter many people that don´t believe the planet is getting warmer as a result of human impact. what I see is people that either expect the results of global warming to ´really begin´ in some unspecified future (instead of acknowledging the weird stuff that is already happening all over, or people who feel overwhelmed and impotent, unable to do anything that would have ´real results´, therefore can´t be bothered to even try to think about the situation.
The hilarious part was the clip from Fox "news". They didn't really SAY anything, they just sneered some 12th-grade irony and frat humor and went nyuk-nyuk-nyuk. Too bad a fairly good chunk of Fox's viewers will take this as the pinnacle of sophisticated skepticism.
