科学家们几乎普遍认为，人类活动是气候变化的主要原因。然而，尽管科学界达成了这一共识，但美国公众在对人类引起的气候变化的看法上仍然存在分歧。我们调查党派团体的身份和科学的政治化在破坏科学共识信息的影响，对人类引起的气候变化的作用。我们通过对全国代表性样本进行的调查实验来做到这一点，发现党派身份，尤其是政治化会阻碍有关气候变化的科学共识声明的效果。最后，我们讨论了科学家作为一个群体如何与游击队合作，以更有效地交流科学信息。
Scientists are in near-universal agreement that human activity is a primary cause of climate change. Yet, despite this scientific consensus, the American public remains divided when it comes to beliefs about human-induced climate change. We investigate the role of partisan group identity and the politicization of science in undermining the impact of a scientific consensus message about human-induced climate change. We do so with a survey experiment administered on a nationally representative sample, finding that partisan identityand especially politicizationcan stunt the effect of a scientific consensus statement about climate change. We conclude with a discussion about how scientists, as a group, might work with partisans to more effectively communicate scientific information.
