60% as of 2024. Still a ridiculous number in context. Thing is, that increasing number also has a context - one in which the question is, for some portion of the remainder, a political prompt.
It's that political prompt that I would say is the human cause of climate inaction - not beliefs about climate change per se.
As for trees and development - we've actually seen alot more trees year over year than we lose due to abandoned agricultural land and suburban development plans - but as this relates to forests and climate change, we plant fewer seedlings than we lose to fires, for example. So it's complicated. We have an increase in tree cover even as we suffer through deforestation. The lowest point for us was the early 1900's.
