%X This study was conducted through interviews in mid-2009, in the cities of S o Bernardo do Campo, Santo Antonio de Posse, Pederneiras and Tapiratiba, located in S o Paulo State, Brazil. The aim was to evaluate if the population had information about the global warming and climate changes. In case of an affirmative answer, the main sources of information that they had access were identified and also their personal views on this controversial subject today. Regarding the climate changes and its causes and consequences, it was found that people acquire more information through television and internet, which is worrying, given that the facts disclosed by the television networks and the worldwide computers network, are often alarmist and lacking scientific foundation
