A study conducted by scholars from the University of Oregon in the USA found that new articles not only indicate the harsh realities of climate change but also propose potential solutions, receiving more positive attention from readers and may influence their understanding of the problem.
According to the scholars, it is essential not only to inform the public about the catastrophic consequences of climate change but also to suggest constructive approaches to solving this problem. The absence of solutions or perspective may evoke in readers a sense of helplessness and despair, which intensifies a pessimistic relationship to the situation.
"An approach that integrates information about the consequences of climate change with a focus on possible solutions contributes to greater audience engagement and can motivate people to take action," the scholars noted.
Such an approach can not only increase awareness of climate change issues but also inspire a search for and realization of new solutions to combat it. It can also promote positive thinking and actions toward addressing the factual changes necessary to protect the surrounding environment.
