Rob Salmond over at Polity always finds some of the really interesting offshore political/social studies 

Cool-yet-depressing finding on why some people change their mind on climate change from one day to the next.

The skinny of this Roll Call article is:

• Democrats generally believe in climate change;
• Republicans generally don’t;
• People-who-are-neither-Democrats-nor-Republicans are massively more likely to believe in climate change if today is hotter than yesterday.

This is a good time for some Mencken: “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
