People continue to underestimate how much others around them care about climate change. Changing seasonal weather patterns have influenced most Americans’ levels of climate concern. 72% of Americans are concerned about climate change, including 42% who are “very” concerned about the issue. But just 52% say that people around them are concerned. 54% say that changing seasonal weather patterns influences their climate concern, and 45% say the learning more about climate change increases their concern. 4 in 10 Americans don’t know what their local community is doing about climate change.
