The climate is changing. Most people know that it's changing, and a sizeable majority even say they worry about those changes.
In almost every county in the United States, a majority of adults say they agree that the climate is changing. |
But at the same time, just 40% of Americans think it's going to harm them personally. And just 33% of Americans say they talk about climate change "even occasionally."
One of the reasons for this discrepancy may be that discussion of climate science tends to happen at the 30,000-foot level — examining global shifts in average temperatures and weather — or focuses on extreme environments, like the Arctic, where the impacts of climate change are most extreme.
But climate change is going to impact every corner of the Earth in some way or another.
