Do frigid temperatures give you doubts about global warming? asks this article by Cass R. Sunstein.
“Global warming strikes America! Brrrr!” So tweeted Missouri Representative Vicky Hartzler last week, as much of the U.S. experienced extreme cold. (In Buffalo, it was a full Snowpocalypse.) Do frigid temperatures give you doubts about global warming?
You wouldn’t be alone. When people think the day’s weather is exceptionally cold, research shows, they’re less likely to be concerned about global warming. And when the day seems unusually hot, concern jumps.
When it comes to deciding whether climate change is occurring, and worthy of concern, “Brrrr!” isn’t much of an argument.
