Global warming PDF articles
The journal Risk Analysis recently published our article "The Role of Emotion in Global Warming Policy Support and Opposition." Prior research has found that affect (feelings of good or bad) and affective imagery (associations) strongly influence public support for global warming. This article extends this literature by exploring the separate influence of discrete emotions, like fear, anger, worry, guilt, etc.
Using a nationally representative survey in the United States, this study found that discrete emotions were stronger predictors of global warming policy support than cultural worldviews (egalitarianism, individualism), negative affect, top of mind associations, or socio-demographic variables, including political party and ideology. In fact, 50% of the variance in public support for global warming policies was explained by the emotion measures alone.
In particular, worry, interest, and hope were strongly associated with increased policy support. The results contribute to experiential theories of risk information processing and suggest that discrete emotions play a significant role in public support for climate change policy. Implications for climate change communication are also discussed.

What do the opponents of the global warming theory believe?
They believe what 31,479 scientists believe: there is no man-caused global warming. They all signed a petition saying so. Out of those 31,479, about 9,000 are climate scientists.

Go to college, take Geology, Meteorology, Astronomy and Anthropology for a few years. then come back on here and we will have a real discussion. You have been heavily propagandized.
My heating bill is through the roof. It's effing cold! I still have a pile of "global warming" at the end of my driveway and the chains are in the back of my Durango 4X4.
@Paul Haymon: Meanwhile global warming is going on, animals are dying and it's only a matter of time before our planet is uninhabitable.
