Few Americans believe the U.S. economy will be impacted by climate change

A new survey among 
over 2,000 U.S. adults 
was conducted online 
by The Harris Poll, 
on behalf of Inerjys 
Ventures:

38% of Americans believe 
that climate change 
will damage the U.S. 
economy if it is 
not addressed. 

19% of Americans believe 
it will cost more 
to solve climate change 
globally, than it would 
cost to fix the problems 
that climate change causes.

25% of Americans 
don’t believe efforts from 
U.S. entrepreneurs/start-up 
companies are important 
in the fight against 
climate change

35% of Americans believe 
there is not enough money 
being invested in technology,
that could help prevent 
or fix climate change.

The survey suggests that 
Americans are confused 
about climate change
blame and responsibility,
when looking at government, 
large corporations, entrepreneurs, 
and individuals or investors. 

42% of Americans believe 
the U.S. government
has more of a responsibility 
than U.S. companies to address 
issues in America that cause 
climate change.
