Americans' Climate Change Knowledge: Fossil Fuels Are Fossilized Dinosaurs, Global Warming Is Beneficial And 12 Other Ridiculous Beliefs (PHOTOS)

A new report released by Yale, "Americans' Knowledge Of Climate Change," reveals an extremely alarming absence of accurate information when it comes to what Americans know about the climate and energy. The report's findings are based on a survey of 2,030 American adults and include some shocking results, such as a large belief that fossil fuels are the fossilized remains of dinosaurs, rockets punching holes in the ozone contribute to global warming, and that some actually believe global warming is beneficial.

Yale's researchers found that 52% of those surveyed would receive a failing grade for their knowledge of the climate change and energy issues they were surveyed on, while only 8% got an A or B.
