Guardian asks readers if climate events changed their minds
Original: Has direct experience of a recent climate event changed your mind about the climate crisis?
The Guardian is asking readers whether personally experiencing a recent climate event — such as floods, wildfires or heatwaves — has changed their views on the climate crisis. The question invites first-hand accounts of how extreme weather shapes public attitudes, as researchers and journalists continue to examine whether direct experience shifts opinion more than scientific reports or political debate.
Why now: Extreme weather events keep making headlines, prompting outlets to probe whether personal experience is shifting public opinion on climate change.
