In an international survey of peoples responses to the climate crisis and other pressing issues, the country with the highest percentage of people who say theyre not worried about climate change at all turned out to be the United States.

A survey released Monday by Ipsos found that about half of adults (48%) across 31 countries worry at least a fair amount about climate change.

The survey of more than 23,000 adults worldwide, conducted online from mid-February to early March, asked people to what extent theyd worried about climate change in the past few weeks: a great deal, a fair amount, a little, or not at all?

In Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Argentina and Italy, more than two-thirds of respondents said theyd worried about climate change a great deal or a fair amount recently. In China and Russia, fewer than 30% said so. And in the United States, some 38% said they worried at least a fair amount about the climate crisis.

However, 29% of Americans surveyed said they didnt worry at all about climate change a higher percentage than in any of the 30 other countries.
