Climate Change Optimism: "We Believe it Won't Affect Us"
Description
We judge risks based off our own experiences and those of people close to us, explains Alice Hill, senior fellow for Climate Change Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. Hill describes the cognitive bias and general "discounting of risk" that leads people to assume that their lives won't be impacted by climate change.
