Rising Temperatures and Extreme Weather Impact Americans

Amidst rising temperatures and extreme weather, a significant majority of Americans report experiencing at least one extreme weather event in the past year, with many attributing it to human-caused climate change and supporting stricter building codes in high-risk areas (source: Pew Research Center via KNPR). Climate ambivalence, the conflict between wanting to make sustainable choices and the desire for traditional leisure activities, is a growing issue, with many people feeling this tension in their daily lives (source: Marije van Gent via Mirage News).
