Climate Change in the Indian Mind, Winter 2025/2026

Heat Worry vs. Heat Risk

Most Americans underestimate how dangerous extreme heat is in their area.
Screenshot of an interactive dashboard showing the gap between assessed heat risk and public worry about heat across U.S. counties. The dashboard includes a color-coded county map highlighting areas where heat risk is considerably higher than public worry, along with a scatterplot that positions each county according to its heat risk and heat worry levels.
Yale Climate Opinion Maps 2025

Climate opinion tool covering 32 questions across U.S. states, counties, and metros.
These maps show the percentage of people in the U.S. in each state who somewhat or strongly support building solar farms (57% nationally) and wind farms (53% nationally) in their local area. Across all of the top wind and solar-producing states, majorities are either supportive or neutral about local wind and solar farms. Data: Yale Climate Opinion Maps, 2025. Refer to the tool and the Methods tab on the website for more information.

What We Do

We conduct scientific research on public climate change knowledge, attitudes, policy preferences, and behavior, and the underlying psychological, cultural, and political factors that influence them. We also engage the public in climate change science and solutions, in partnership with governments, media organizations, companies, and civil society, and with a daily, national radio program, Yale Climate Connections.
