Here in the United States, a larger slice of the population believes that climate change is a natural phenomenon unrelated to human activities than any other country in the world, according to the results of a new poll by the British survey group Ipsos Mori.

That was one of a set of eight findings on attitudes toward climate change and the environment in the group's Global Trends Survey, which was conducted in September and October 2013 and included feedback from more than 16,000 people in 20 countries around the world.

About 54 percent of respondents from the U.S. -- just over 1,000 people who, like most other countries in the survey, were between the ages of 18 and 64 -- told Ipsos Mori they agreed with the statement, "The climate change we are currently seeing is largely the result of human activity."

That was the lowest of all nations in the survey (which you can see here). China had the largest percentage of respondents who agreed with the statement (93 percent), followed closely by newly emerging industrial powerhouses India (80 percent) and Brazil (79 percent).

Even in oil and gas-rich Russia (67 percent), more people evidently agree that human activities are causing climate change than in the U.S.

'Natural Phenomenon'

Ipsos Mori also asked respondents the opposite question: to what extent do you agree or disagree that the climate change we are currently seeing is a natural phenomenon that happens from time to time?

For this question, the U.S. tied with India for the top spot. Fifty-two percent of American respondents agreed, while 35 percent disagreed -- the lowest percentage of any country in the survey.

Japan had the lowest percentage that agreed with the statement (22 percent), while South Korea had the largest segment that disagreed with it (69 percent).
