Item American Adolescents’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Sources of Information on Climate Change(2020) Roser-Renouf, Connie; Maibach, Edward; Myers, TeresaThe past several years have witnessed a dramatic increase in young people’s activism on climate change, accompanied by calls for society to act more aggressively to protect their futures. To better understand what young people think and feel about climate change, we surveyed American adolescents, asking what they know, feel and believe about the issue, what questions they have about it, and where they are obtaining their information. This report summarizes the results of the survey and is intended to support efforts to inform and educate American youth about climate change.Item American Adolescents’ Responses to NASA’s Climate Change Website(2020) Roser-Renouf, Connie; Myers, Teresa; Maibach, EdwardThis is the second of two reports about American adolescents and climate change. In the first report, we described teens’ knowledge, attitudes, and sources of climate change information. In this report, we analyze their responses to one important source of this information –the NASA website climate.NASA.gov. The NASA website is one of the primary sources provided by the federal government to inform the public on the issue of climate change. In this report we assess how adolescents feel about the website, how it affects their climate change knowledge and attitudes, and whether some adolescents are more responsive to the website than others, based on their age, gender and interest in science.Item Americans’ Views of Climate Change, NASA, and NASA’s Climate Website(2020) Myers, Teresa; Roser-Renouf, Connie; Maibach, EdwardThis report summarizes the results of a nationally representative survey of American adults conducted in 2018. The report’s findings are intended to support NASA’s efforts to inform and educate the American public on the issue of climate change. The results detail the information users are seeking on climate change, their evaluations of the clarity and usefulness of the website climate.NASA.gov, and the impacts the website has on visitors’ climate change knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, and on their views of NASA and its earth science research.
