Climate Change in the American Mind
Setup
Experts believe climate change is not a technological problem, it’s a social problem. Americans have diverse and opposing views about global warming, which fundamentally shape the politics of climate change. What are the recent, and often surprising, trends in American knowledge, attitudes, and behavior on the issue? Where do liberals and conservatives across age and region stand? And why did science become politicized by certain demographics? The co-founder of the American Tea Party and a leading researcher from Yale share their findings and explore how to build public and political will around the biggest issue of our generation.
