Six Americas Update:
Trending Toward Concern


The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication has released the newest update of their Global Warming's Six Americas study. From the update:

" Our latest survey in December 2018 finds that the Alarmed segment is at an all-time high (29%) - which is double that segment's size in 2013 and an 8-point increase since March 2018. Conversely, the Dismissive (9%) and Doubtful (9%) segments have both decreased over the last five years. The percentage of Americans in these two segments has declined by 12 points since 2013."



The Climate Change Response Program invites interested NPS employees, contractors, and volunteers to enjoy unlimited access to the Association of Climate Change Officers (ACCO) library of on-demand and live online training FREE for one full year. This opportunity affords participants unparalleled flexibility to customize training according to their needs and work around busy schedules.

Availability is limited and will be awarded strictly on a first-come, first serve basis. For instructions on how to register for this opportunity, please contact Larry Perez at larry_perez@nps.gov .
