“…There is a rising scientific consensus on climate change, although climate change skepticism is constantly in the news [50,51]. Reference [52] dealt with skepticism using Twitter. In particular, they have analyzed the stream of Twitter conversations about climate change over two years, focusing on "hoax frames" that question the reality of climate change.…”

“…Reference [53] has said that text mining allows researchers to extract information and trends from large amounts of textual data. Studies using text-mining techniques to explore climate change issues have recently been increasing [3,43,45,52]. The use of text mining in risk assessment, in particular, has been recognized as a superior way to identify high-frequency risks and to produce data that can be used to analyze the interrelationships between risks [18].…”

Abstract:The risks caused by climate change are worsening worldwide, and it is recognized that national and regional responses to climate change are essential. This study therefore explores climate change risks that have been recognized as fatal to people and the environment by analyzing multi-influence factors that appear in multiple risk indicators. The climate change risks in this study are based on 73 existing risk indicators; the frame data for multi-influence risk factors are based on 3098 newspaper articles published over 24 years on the impact of climate change in South Korea. The main outcomes for this study were finding climate change risk trend from newspaper articles regarding climate change impacts through text-mining, and figuring out the multi-risk indicators that are likely to occur at the same time with other risk indicators using network analysis. From the network analysis, we found that the major risk indicators have a high degree of interrelationship among risk indicators, including "increase in mortality rate from disaster", "increase in flood areas due to coastal flooding", and "destruction of repair facilities due to flooding (river bank, etc.)". The main risk indicators derived from this study can therefore be used as a reasonable standard when identifying the main risks posed by climate change and defining future adaptation planning priorities.

“…Studies in the United States on the extent to which people are concerned about climate change have shown that responses varied depending on whether the term 'global warming' or 'climate change' was used (Jang and Hart 2015;Schuldt et al 2011Schuldt et al , 2015. For example, Republican respondents were more likely to have expressed scepticism that global climate change is a real phenomenon when the term 'global warming' rather than 'climate change' was used.…”

Using data from Opinions about the Environment and Global Warming 2010, a nationally representative survey of 3900 adults, this study investigates demographic differentials in levels of concern about climate change and climate-relevant behaviours. The factor analysis of 11 environmentally friendly and carbon emissions reduction behaviours identifies two main factors that underlie climate-relevant behaviours: (1) efforts to save electricity and water, and (2) technical and behavioural changes. The multivariate analyses show that women and individuals with higher education are more likely than others to worry a great deal about global warming, and to make technical and behavioural changes. It may be the case that education is positively correlated with making technical and behavioural changes, but not with making efforts to save electricity or water, because the former set of actions require more effort and knowledge to pursue, while the latter set of actions are commonly undertaken for economic reasons. Having concerns about global warming and having experienced environmental problems are also associated with an increased adoption of climate-relevant behaviours.

“…This has not only changed the traditional form of news reporting but also provided new opportunities for geographic science (Sui & Goodchild, 2011), given the rich geographic information attached to the social media data, often known as "geotags," in the form of longitude and latitude coordinates (Croitoru, Wayant, Crooks, Radzikowski, & Stefanidis, 2014;Lin & Cromley, 2015;Shelton, Poorthuis, Graham, & Zook, 2014). Scholars have applied social media data, Facebook, and microblogging, for example, into many fields of applied geographic studies, including population migration, urban space pattern, commuting behaviors, environmental event reactions, pandemics and disaster predictions, and crime occurrence (Cao et al, 2015;Char & Stow, 2015;Chunara, Andrews, & Brownstein, 2012;Croitoru et al, 2014;Gerber, 2014;Jang & Hart, 2015;Kounadi, Lampoltshammer, Groff, Sitko, & Leitner, 2015;Lampoltshammer, Kounadi, Sitko, & Hawelka, 2014;Lin & Cromley, 2015;Shelton et al, 2014;Patel & Jermacane, 2015;Widener & Li, 2014).…”
