【Disaster News】Climate Change & Extreme Weather: What Americans Really Think

DALLE 2025.03.05

 Did you know that 80% of Americans have faced extreme weather recently? And most blame climate change!

Today, I gonna talk about America’s risk perception on climate change.

A new AP poll reveals 3 in 4 Americans who’ve experienced severe winter weather believe climate change played a role. While only 25% feel personally impacted today, 40% expect climate change to affect their lives in the future – especially younger people.

About 70% of Americans now recognize climate change as real with potentially major consequences. This awareness has grown through increased media coverage and political discussions.

People are particularly worried about rising insurance premiums and energy costs tied to climate change. Most Americans support helping communities prone to disasters, though they’re split on whether to restrict building in vulnerable areas.

As extreme weather becomes more common, Americans are connecting the dots to climate change – the message is clear: it’s not just about heat waves anymore.

I feel the same!
