Indeed. To American ears, it's really not significant, other than in the "open up vast swaths of Northern farmland to much greater diversity of crops" sense.
The skepticism most commonly found in the US, based on my anecdotal evidence, is not toward whether AGW is happening, but rather why anyone ought to care. Some even consider it a good thing.
