New study finds Americans are increasingly alarmed about the climate crisis

— © AFPA new study reveals that Americans are becoming increasingly worried about global warming and are now more engaged with climate change issues and solutions than in past years. In the new study, the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication organized Americans into six distinct groups based on beliefs, attitudes, policy support, and behavior with regard to climate change. However, they tend to believe that climate impacts are still distant in time and space, thus climate change remains a lower priority issue. The Cautious are aware of climate change but are uncertain about its causes and are not very worried. The Doubtful do not think global warming is happening or they believe it is just a natural cycle.
