Where local economies rely on fossil fuels, people tend to have more inconsistent beliefs about the climate. A study from the Yale Program on Climate Communications mapped the strength and consistency of beliefs about climate change in 110 geographies worldwide. They surveyed 99,074 participants in the global study and revealed differences in how people view the climate depending on where they live, their wealth, and how much information and education they have about the climate. Considering belief structures and socio-economic context can help develop communications and education on the risks of climate change.
