气候变化继续使全球更多人口面临更加频繁和严重的极端天气事件。最近的研究表明，极端天气的这些变化尚未持续促使人们对气候变化的看法或与气候相关的行为发生变化。极端天气可能会强化那些已经担心气候变化的人的观点，但却被那些不关心气候变化的人错误地归因或误解。然而，个人经历的特征和严重程度可能会影响其对气候观点的影响。未来的研究应考虑适当的研究设计，例如匹配数据或面板数据，以区分经验与其他因素的影响，同时也尊重灾难幸存者研究的伦理考虑。随着气候变化的影响在地方层面变得越来越明显，了解这些经验如何与其他因素相互作用以形成缓解和适应决策变得越来越重要。
Climate change continues to expose more of the global population to more frequent and severe extreme weather events. Recent research shows that these changes in extreme weather have not, as yet, consistently motivated changes in opinions about climate change or changes in climate-related behavior. Extreme weather may reinforce opinions among people who are already worried about climate change, yet be misattributed or misperceived by those who are unconcerned. However, the characteristics and severity of personal experience may influence its impacts on climate opinions. Future research should consider appropriate research designs, such as matching or panel data, to disentangle the effects of experience from other factors, while also respecting ethical considerations for research among disaster survivors. As the impacts of climate change become increasingly evident at the local level, it becomes increasingly important to understand how these experiences interact with other factors to shape mitigation and adaptation decisions.
