Seeing is Believing: Video Boosts Climate Change Consensus, Spurs Action
A scientific video about climate change was found to be more effective than a text transcript in showing that most scientists agree on global warming. This video helped more people believe that climate change is real, caused by humans, and a worrisome issue. The study supports the idea that when people see the scientific consensus on climate change through a video, it can lead them to care more about this environmental problem and prioritize solutions. This suggests that using videos can be a powerful way to communicate complex scientific ideas, like climate change agreement, to the public.
