update/clarification on the global warming statistic

the exact phrasing of the question that allegedly led to the conclusion that 13% of americans had 'never heard of' global warming does not, imo, lead to anything of the sort. the wording seems to have been

'Have you heard or read anything about the issue of global warming?'

13% is much more realistic if you're talking about americans who have never read an article or listened to someone talk about the subject.
