We all know that humans see the world with different lenses and these perspectives influence our attitudes and behaviors in many ways. It is important to recognize that not only are the ways we see the world differently but among other things, we also differ in where we get our information.
First, go to the following site:
This is the complementary map for the Six America’s Study.
When the site comes up you will notice that if you wait a few seconds, it will load the 2016 map.
This is an amazing resource that allows you to look at Climate Opinions on a country, state, and county level as well as congressional district and metro areas. Click on a state and zoom in on a specific county and see how it compares to the other areas. Scroll down the potential opinions such as, “Global Warming is Happening” or “Schools Should Teach Global Warming” etc.
Write down interesting notes from the 2016 map.
Next, go back to the map and click on most recent version of these maps here on the site. This will take you to the 2019 results. Explore. See if some regions changed.
Be prepared, you will record your insights in this week’s roundtable discussion.
