Climate change threat more real to those with perceived personal experience: study

The Holy Grail is figuring out how to get the public engaged on this issue. The problem is that the typical output of climate studies is statistical information that’s impenetrable to most people,” said Karen Akerlof, the study’s lead author. “If you can help people feel they’ve actually experienced what’s happening, they may be able to better acknowledge the risks.”

Using population survey and climatic data from a county in Michigan, researchers found 27 per cent of people felt they had personally experienced global warming, which refers to the long-term rise in the earth’s average temperature (“climate change” includes global warming and everything else affected by increasing greenhouse gasses). This is on par with a nationally representative U.S. study, fielded in 2010, in which 30 per cent of respondents felt similarly.
