There are plenty of issues and points of debate in our world, many of them arising from us leeching the Earth of space and resources. From GMOs to overpopulation to global warming, people can often have a not quite accurate opinion on things that scientists have already proven time and time again. For instance, 98% of scientists support evolution, whereas only 65% of American adults believe in the concept. Of course, this particular case is unique because of religion and personal beliefs, but even things like global warming are still somehow debatable even though they are purely based on science and fact. If the majority of scientists believe something, and they are more educated on the subject than you, then you should probably take their word for it. .

But still, how does the public opinion compare to that of scientists? In this great video by The Daily Conversation, you will learn all about scientists current opinion on major issues of today, and how the public’s opinion differs. As it turns out, it differs quite a lot, which isn’t a good thing. Overall, the video is very informative and interesting, and teaches people about things that really should know more about.
