Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is evidence to suggest that many adults are not exposed to accurate information about environmental issues. A study by the University of Michigan found that, compared to younger people, older adults were less likely to seek out information on climate change and were more likely to hold misconceptions about the causes and consequences of environmental problems. Additionally, media coverage of environmental issues can be inconsistent and the information presented may not always be based on scientific consensus.
