The climate change research investigates the role psychology plays in climate change belief, denial, and subsequent action (e.g.,
Newell & Moss, 2022;
Newell et al., 2014). More specifically, the role of uncertainty (
Lewandowsky et al., 2014), the impact of question and policy framing (
Hurlstone et al., 2014), 'psychological distance' to climate events (
McDonald, Chai, & Newell, 2015), the role of understanding basic climate facts in determining behaviour (
Newell et al., 2016), and the ways in which compelling scientific arguments can be presented (
Kary et al., 2018) An extensive survey and model of Australians' attitudes to the risks posed by climate change and their willingness to take action was published in 2019 (
Xie et al, 2019).
