major concern for climate activists is
figuring out what drives the public’s beliefs about climate change.

is about climate change in other parts of the world and how people feel about
it.

Climate Change, provides a more inclusive look at the issue, giving scientists
greater insight into what factors are most likely to make people care about
climate change — if they know it’s happening at all.
