这项研究调查了美国农作物生产者对气候变化的看法，气候变化对农作物农业的影响，以及农民适应极端天气的可能方式。根据对四个州的作物生产者的调查，我们发现，很大一部分农民没有意识到气候变化已经得到科学证明，也不相信它会对作物平均产量和产量变异性产生不利影响。农民可能会使作物多样化，购买作物保险，修改租赁安排，并退出农业，以应对气候变化造成的极端天气。
This study examines U.S. crop producers' perceptions of climate change, its effects on crop agriculture, and likely ways farmers would adapt to weather extremes. Based on a survey of crop producers in four states, we find that a significant proportion of farmers do not perceive that climate change has been scientifically proven and do not believe that it will adversely affect average crop yields and yield variability. Farmers are likely to diversify crops, buy crop insurance, modify lease arrangements, and exit farming in response to extreme weather caused by climate change.
