According to a Stockton University poll released earlier this
week, 2/3 of New Jersey residents believe climate change is a
crisis and almost 75% believe it is affecting New Jersey.
Per Stockton's press release, "the results show climate
change is a concern to people all over New Jersey and not just
those who live along the Jersey shore," said John Froonjian,
interim director of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy
at Stockton, who presented an overview of the results at Coast Day
at Stockton Atlantic City on Oct. 13.
As reported in Bisnow, among those who believe climate change is
currently affecting NJ, more than 75% cited rising sea level, earth
warming, harming or changing the ocean, extreme weather, and
worsening pollution as major problems they are concerned about.
