Public opinion data come from the Yale Climate Opinion Maps (YCOM), which
are based on a statistical model that employs nationally representative
Climate Change in the American Mind (CCAM) surveys conducted between 2008
and 2023. The model combines geographic, census, socioeconomic, and
political data with CCAM survey data collected by the Yale Program on
Climate Change Communication and George Mason University Center for Climate
Change Communication (combined n > 28,000). For more information about the
survey question wording and methodology, please visit YCOM:
