摘要

美国对清洁能源政策的抵制部分源于公众对人为气候变化的犹豫和怀疑。这篇文章考察了自我宣称的气候变化怀疑论者对清洁能源政策的看法,沿着怀疑思想的连续体,从认知否认到归因怀疑。为了做到这一点,我们使用了在美国太平洋西北地区进行的在线调查数据,以及对同一地区持怀疑态度的人进行的一系列试点访谈。结果显示,怀疑论者对清洁能源政策的支持始终与他们对环境的关注有关。阴谋论和对科学的不信任导致支持率下降。然而,环境问题的积极影响胜过这些信念的影响。讨论了这些发现对气候变化传播和政策的重要和有希望的影响。

Climate Change Skeptics’ Environmental Concerns and Support for Clean Energy Policy: A Case Study of the US Pacific Northwest
Resistance to clean energy policy in the United States stems partly from public hesitancy and skepticism toward anthropogenic climate change. This article examines self-declared climate change skeptics’ views of clean energy policy along a continuum of skeptical thought, spanning from epistemic denial to attribution doubt. To perform this, we use data from an online survey administered in the US Pacific Northwest and a series of pilot interviews conducted with skeptics in the same region. Results reveal that skeptics’ support for clean energy policy is consistently linked with their environmental concern across the skepticism continuum. Conspiracy ideation and distrust in science lead to a reduction in support. However, the positive effect of environmental concern trumps the effects of these beliefs. Important and hopeful implications of these findings for climate change communication and policy are discussed.
