Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.9K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

13.9K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Radiation: Applications

1.2K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.

The Carbon Cycle01:14

The Carbon Cycle

39.9K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Environmental Science
  • Political Science

Background:

  • Attitudes toward global warming (GW) are influenced by demographics, personality, and political orientation.
  • Dispositional optimism may foster GW seriousness by encouraging active coping and reducing anxiety-driven avoidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate correlates of attitude toward global warming.
  • To examine the interactive effect of optimism and political orientation on GW attitude.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a dataset of 819 adult respondents.
  • Employed correlation and regression analyses.
  • Applied moderated regression to test for interaction effects.

Main Results:

  • Right-wing political orientation and competitiveness were inversely associated with GW attitude.
  • Higher education and optimism were positively associated with GW attitude.
  • Optimism's positive effect on GW attitude was stronger for those with a more right-wing political orientation.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest tailored communication strategies for climate change are needed for different demographic and political groups.
  • Optimism and political orientation interact to shape GW attitudes.
  • Further research should explore these complex relationships and communication efficacy.
