Survey Responses on Climate Terminology in Los Angeles County, June-August 2023

June-August 2023 survey responses from 1,048 inhabitants of Los Angeles County, collected by Jenna Blyler. Participants were randomly assigned to answer questions about one of five climate-related terms: 'climate justice', 'climate change', 'global warming', 'climate crisis', or 'climate emergency'. The dataset likely contains responses measuring familiarity, concern, perceived urgency, policy support, and willingness to engage in sustainable behavior.

• Study the relationship between income level and responsiveness to 'climate justice' messaging.
