Yeah, that post title was sarcasm, in case you didn't realize. Why? This is why.

A new report from Ipsos MORI includes data on public opinion about the causes of climate change from twenty nations — and the United States led the world in the rate of climate change denial, as assessed by answers to two questions.

The United States and India were tied, at 52%, for agreement with "The climate change we are currently seeing is a natural phenomenon that happens from time to time," with China closely following at 51%. Only 34% of Swedes, 26% of South Koreans, and 22% of Japanese agreed.

The United States was first, at 32%, for disagreement with "The climate change we are currently seeing is largely the result of human activity," with Australia second at 25% and Russia and Great Britain tied for third at 24%. Only 12% of Spaniards, 9% of Argentinians, and 5% of Chinese disagreed.

Here are the detailed results of the two questions from the poll:





If you are gonna be this bloody stupid, my fellow countrymen and women, do those of us who at least try to be informed citizens a favor and DON'T ANSWER QUESTIONS, so you can't embarrass the nation to such a face-palming degree. When you're told you should lead the world, that doesn't mean straight into the gutter, you nitwits. Wake up, would ya?
