People who have directly experienced flooding are more likely to be worried

about climate change and willing to adopt energy-saving behavior, according to a

new study based on a recent survey of 1,822 individuals across the United

Kingdom.

The new study found that those who report experience of flooding express

more concern over climate change, see it as less uncertain, and feel more

①__________ that their actions will have an effect on climate change. Importantly,

these perceptual (认知的) ②_____ also translate into a greater willingness to save

energy to mitigate climate change.

Previous psychological research suggests that many people are 姓名

relatively unconcerned about climate change because they perceive it as a

③________ issue that will not directly affect them. But the authors of the new

study say their results suggest that drawing ④_____ between local weather events

and climate change is likely to be a useful strategy for increasing concern and

action.

An earlier study conducted after major U.K. floods in 1998 and 2000 found

⑤_________ similar levels of concern in those directly affected by flooding and

those who did not have that experience. But given that ⑥________ severe flooding

events struck England since 2003, the British research team decided to revisit the

issue.

Elke Weber — a professor of business and psychology at Columbia University

— called the findings surprising and important. Following the failed climate

change negotiations in Copenhagen, the ⑦_________ for sufficient public concern

about climate change and political will to reduce carbon emissions have seemed

dim. However, recent events in Tunisia (突尼斯), Egypt and other countries have

shown that increases in the perceived effectiveness of individual and ⑧_________

action can change ⑨________ and behaviors quickly and ⑩___________. The new

study’s findings, Weber added, provide a glimmer of hope that similar ‘tipping

point’ dynamics might exist in the domain of climate change.
