It may be that about a third think Global Warming is real, a third think its a Hoax (by VP A. Gore?) and the rest might say "Global What?" in their language or dialect.
Any superficial study would show that the problem is real and its proximate cause is Carbon Emission. But, we are up against a Law that is older than Matuzalem's 969 years:
Its NEW formulation is: PRECONCEPTIONS INTERPRET PERCEPTIONS.
Some say "You see what you want to see!"
Others say "You judge by views you learned as a child!"
or say "The Earth is Flat! Go talk to somebody else!"
The implication I see is hat less than a third accept that Population is part of the Global Warming Issue because No Law of God will be changed by idiots that try to change it! YOU HEAR! Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "sometimes you tuck your Bible in your coat and ride the last train out of town!" Such seems to be the case on Reproductive Rights.
Nobody is ready to change their minds and it IS a religious problem because it held as a God-given right. THEREFORE, tell ALL Religions and churches "It is YOUR problem to solve"
The Challenge is for all religions to address the population issue and arrive at a solution. This is the first plan, to be followed by others as the responses and GW develops.
1. Propose the UN Sponsor a Global Religion Conference on Population, to consider plans to deal with unsustainable population growth rates and write one statement that a 2/3rd majority of church members they represent and they would all be asked to support. Clearly put the burden where it belongs.
2. The name of the conference to be "The Ibn Rushd, Maimonides and Aquinas Conference on Population". The major leaders of all churches will be asked to attend at the Closing Session, if they are willing to endorse and support whatever the Conference Recommends to the World.
3. Conference to be held in the Canary Islands, for reasons of security and keep demonstrators to a minimum. The word Canary will remind them of the canary put in coal mines to die and allow others to live. There is something in the Bible "No greater love..." The Conference President may be someone like the Dalai Lama and the Conference CEO a UN Ambassador, like the one for Sweden or Switzerland?
4. Conference to begin not earlier than 2015. All churches need to examine their views and the views of their members on this matter. Ultimately, the biggest benefit may be derived from words said during this time in the Providential sites they meet. Thomas Jefferson considered himself to be a "Providential" Preacher because he spoke so often about the Divine Providence. Pres. Kennedy said "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." April 29, 1962 Breakfast for Scientists for 49 Nobel Laureates at the White House. We NEED ANOTHER!

Sorry pal, global warming is in fact a hoax perpetrated by those who would create a global tax to "solve the problem".
CO2 is not a pollutant. We are not changing the Climat.
One volcanic eruption does more to change the climate than man has done so far.
In order for the IPCC computer models to show global warming they omitted all data from volcanic eruptions and volcanic eruption send ash into the stratosphere where it blocks the sun.
You can believe in global warming, or volcanoes, not both
