Perhaps they also want to signal a sentiment similar to that of Freeman Dyson:
That gets to the issue I had with the question.
"Significant" is just too vague. Everyone who gave an answer was answering a different question, depending on how they interpreted "significant".
The survey question itself indicates a primary problem with the discussion of global warming - a conflation of temperature rise and societal cost of temperature rise. First, ask a meaningful question about temperature increase. Then, ask questions about societal cost given different levels of temperature increase.
