公众是否更怀疑“全球变暖”而不是“气候变化”的存在？虽然之前发表的研究表明确实如此，但其他人认为，这种影响要么从未存在，要么在公众舆论的广泛变化中消失了。我们利用调查响应理论来帮助调和这场辩论。然后，我们分析了2016年10月基于概率的调查实验（n = 1461名美国成年人）的数据，以测试美国公众（特别是共和党人）在被问及全球变暖与气候变化是否存在时继续做出不同反应的预测。事实上，被问及气候变化的受访者回答“是”（肯定或某种程度上）的频率（85.8%）比被问及全球变暖的受访者（80.9%）更高，这一结果在共和党人中观察到（74.4%对65.5%），但在民主党人中没有观察到（两种情况下均为94%）。我们讨论了在一个重大的气候和环境政策的政府回滚的时代，对美国公众舆论和话语的更广泛的影响。
Does the public doubt the existence of “global warming” more than “climate change”? While previously published research suggests that it does, others have argued that this effect either never existed or has disappeared amid broader shifts in public opinion. We draw on survey response theory to help reconcile this debate. We then analyze data from an October 2016 probability-based survey experiment (n = 1461 US adults) to test the prediction that the US public (and particularly, Republicans) continue to respond differently when asked whether global warming vs. climate change exists. Indeed, respondents who were asked about climate change responded “Yes” (definitely or somewhat) more often (85.8%) than respondents who were asked about global warming (80.9%), an effect observed for Republicans (74.4 vs. 65.5%) but not Democrats (94% in both conditions). We discuss broader implications for US public opinion and discourse in an era of significant proposed government rollbacks of climate and environmental policy.
