TL;DR: This article examined the extent of a left-right ideological divide on climate change views via Eurobarometer survey data on the publics of 25 EU countries before the 2008 global financial crisis, the 2009 ‘climategate’ controversy and COP-15 in Copenhagen, and an increase in organized climate change denial campaigns.

TL;DR: The authors identify the strongest and most consistent predictors of key dimensions of climate change views within many countries, and discuss the prevailing theoretical explanations of these specific effects, and further explain the political dynamics of US climate change view that help characterize the US's outlier status among industrial capitalist democracies.

TL;DR: This paper used the most comprehensive public opinion survey data on climate change available for the US to examine effects of annual and seasonal climate variation and found that political orientation has the most important effect in shaping public perceptions about the timing and seriousness of climate change.

TL;DR: Results from cross-level interactions for education confirm these complexities across these measures, supporting a dimensionality argument and the importance of the measurement of environmental concern shown in this research is emphasized for future cross-national scholarship.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended previous cross-national studies by employing multi-item indicators of environmental concern in order to more accurately portray concern for the environment as a multifaceted concept and to determine whether the sources of environmental concerns are similar among industrialized countries.
