Poll: 18% of Wisconsinites think that climate change extremely problematic.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) � A new poll shows that only 18 percent of Wisconsin residents believe climate change is extremely problematic in the state.
Survey respondents were most concerned about declining water levels in Wisconsin rivers, lakes and ground water. Twenty-one percent say that is extremely problematic.
Sixty-six percent say they believe the natural environment in Wisconsin is excellent or good. And 48 percent say state government is doing extremely well or quite well in protecting the environment.
The University of Wisconsin Survey Center�s Badger Poll was conducted between April 15 and April 24. The random sample survey of 521 people has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

They must have went to the shallow end of the gene pool for their sample.

1. What, precisely, do they mean by "problematic"?

2. For a Wisconsinite it means how big of a snow blower they are going to need

And whether the lakes will get sufficiently frozen over to facilitate ice fishing.
