Examining links between climate distress and climate action

The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication found that the majority of Americans (https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/global-warmings-six-americas-december-2022/)  are either "alarmed" or "concerned" about climate change. They also discovered links (https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/distress-about-climate-change-and-climate-action/)  between distress about climate change and a desire to take action.


This hour, Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz digs into this study, and the Six Americas Super Short Survey (SASSY). You can take the SASSY Survey here. (https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/sassy/)


Plus, NBC Connecticut meteorologist Rachael Jay and New Haven Climate Movement organizer Adrian Huq will share their perspectives as different kinds of climate communicators.


How do you process feelings of alarm or distress around climate change, or even, take action?
