What precautions surveys should take before mapping the results?
There is useful spatial information in survey data despite potential biases. Multilevel regression and poststratification can improve mapping of survey results.

Every summer we get searing heat waves and reporters reach out to ask me: "Are we prepared?"

The answer is still no.

So why do we feel so isolated? Here's one reason: most people (64%) don't talk about it, even occasionally. Most (66%) don't hear about in the media even once a week. It's RIDICULOUS, and it's the perfect recipe for feeling unheard and powerless.

This is a great way to visualize our data! Most people in the US are worried about global warming (including majorities in nearly every state) @YaleClimateComm @JMarlonPhD @mmildenberger @ecotone2

[Rosemary Mosco (Bird And Moon Comics) @RosemaryMosco]

Here's something I like to remember:
Worrying about climate change can feel isolating. But that isolation is a myth: at least in the USA, the vast majority of us are worried.

[Peter Howe @peterdhowe]

@RosemaryMosco Love these!
