I am trying to find the ratio of people who believe global warming to be true to those who believe it to be false. i could not find any polls on the general public so i resorted to Ngrams. if you have any more details or links, i would like them. thanks! This question is not an attempt to troll debate on the subject. sorry
Thank you Dawei, but that is a little out of date. 2004 was when the topic of global warming was at a peak in hype. now i'm sure the numbers have dissipated a bit, but that's just speculation.
I found this http://www.gallup.com/poll/126560/americans-global-warming-concerns-continue-drop.aspx which shows somewhat of an even match on both sides, with those who think AGW is true slightly outweighs the others side, but not by much. but the sample size is only 1,014 American adults. hardly a large enough sample size to show the actual ratios.
Thank you Trevor, I will be using these two,

for future reference as they are the most up-to-date. the sample size is not the best as it is hard to get more people to take part in a telephone/internet survey, but it does show enough for the time being.Thank you and keep up the good work!
thank you Indulis, i think "what is fueling global warming skepticism in America?" will be in my next question. also, i have been looking everywhere for this graph! http://www.skepticalscience.com/images/poll_scientists.gif
THANK YOU!!! you get a thumbs up! ^_^
