Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce our updated US Climate Opinion Factsheet Map tool.
The factsheets include 22 key measures of public climate change knowledge, attitudes, policy support, and behavior for each of the 50 states, 271 congressional districts*, and 3,142 counties across the U.S. The Factsheets make this state and local information even easier to use and share.
The online tool allows you to tailor-make your own factsheet in English or Spanish by selecting the geographic location and the specific measures you’re interested in.
Factsheets can be saved as a PDF or printed for distribution to classes, community members, the media, business leaders, or elected officials. A standardized factsheet for a specific location can also be shared via a URL link, for example: the factsheet for Alameda County, California, home to Oakland.
Over the past decade, we asked the American public many questions about our changing climate, including “Is global warming affecting the weather?”, “How worried are you about global warming?”, “Do you think Congress should be doing more or less about global warming?”, and much more. Details about the state of public opinion in particular locations is now available in a single document at the click of a button. Select the opinions you’re most interested in, then click “Generate” to get a customized factsheet on climate change opinions in your local area.
You can find more details about the Yale Climate Opinion Maps on our website. Please stay tuned, as we will release full reports on public climate beliefs and attitudes and policy support in coming weeks.

As always, thanks for your interest and support of our work!
On behalf of the research team, Jennifer Marlon, Emily Goddard, Peter Howe, Matto Mildenberger, Martial Jefferson, Adán Rivas, and Anthony Leiserowitz
Cheers,
Tony
