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

A SurveyIpsos released Monday’s findings that nearly half of 31 countries’ adults worry about climate change (48%)

The survey of more than 23,000 adults worldwide, conducted online from mid-February to early March, asked people to what extent they’d 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 they’d worried about climate change a great deal or a fair amount recently. China and Russia had a lower percentage of respondents, with less than 30% saying so. A third of Americans said they were worried about the climate crisis, with 38% saying that they were at least somewhat concerned.

However, 29% of Americans surveyed said they didn’t worry “at all” about climate change — a higher percentage than in any of the 30 other countries.
