Covering Climate Now

@coveringclimatenow.org

We talked to Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social, who studies public perceptions of climate change about #The89Percent and why it matters that people who care about climate action don't realize they are in the majority. #PerceptionGap

Covering Climate Now @coveringclimatenow.org · Apr 23

Many people who are concerned about climate change feel “isolated and alone” because they have no idea they are part of 80-89% of people across the world who want their governments to take climate action.

Trump’s big parade? China’s state media dragged it hard—saying it hides gunfire, unrest, and immigration chaos. 🤯 A brutal take on 🇺🇸 image vs. reality. #USPolitics #China #MilitaryParade #Geopolitics #PerceptionGap

Most Americans want fairness, safety, and opportunity. That's not partisan — that's human. Let's stop assuming the worst and start listening better.
