商品描述

South Florida is frequently cited as the part of the United State of America as most susceptible to the devastation accompanying sea level rise. Several scholarly studies have shown the negative impact of coastal location in Florida on housing values. Are the residents of South Florida concerned? Is susceptibility to sea level rise actually affecting the housing market in terms of demand, the availability of home mortgages, or house prices? Are people living at particular risk from sea level rise aware of this risk and more open to new information about climate change? Do they support policies and laws to mitigate the pace and extent of climate change? Answers to these questions are not only of general interest, but they are also key to our understanding of the human dimensions of this problem.

This book describes the results of a detailed survey in which respondents viewed a local map displaying flooding to their own community that would result from a Category 3 hurricane in 2033. It discusses political party identification and ideology that has an overwhelming impact in shaping views about sea level rise and climate change. This book has enormous implications for the effectiveness of communicating risk information. The text is important if we, as a nation, are to design communication strategies that will lead to broader policy to combat or mitigate this risk.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

南佛羅里達州經常被引用為美國最容易受到海平面上升所帶來的破壞的地區。幾項學術研究顯示，佛羅里達州沿海地區的地理位置對房價有負面影響。南佛羅里達的居民是否感到擔憂？對海平面上升的敏感性是否實際影響了住房市場，包括需求、房貸的可獲得性或房價？生活在特定風險區域的人們是否意識到這一風險，並對氣候變遷的新資訊更加開放？他們是否支持減緩氣候變遷速度和範圍的政策和法律？這些問題的答案不僅具有一般性興趣，還是我們理解這一問題人類面向的關鍵。

本書描述了一項詳細調查的結果，受訪者查看了一張顯示2033年類別3颶風將對他們社區造成淹水的當地地圖。書中討論了政黨認同和意識形態，這對於塑造對海平面上升和氣候變遷的看法有著壓倒性的影響。本書對於有效傳達風險資訊具有重大意義。如果我們作為一個國家要設計出能夠促進更廣泛政策以應對或減輕這一風險的溝通策略，這段文字是非常重要的。
