“These findings put the ball in journalists’ court,” he says, because “much of their audience is saying they feel that climate change is an important issue to be covering in more depth.”<\/p>\n

The report uses three national surveys to measure public opinion on climate change among the regular audiences of Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, the Weather Channel and the national nightly network news on CBS, ABC or NBC. The survey measured many beliefs about climate change, including whether it is happ<\/a>ening, is caused by humans, should be a high priority for elected officials and how this issue influences their choice of a candidate in the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n
