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.
(source: climatecommunication.yale.ed…)
ALT A chart called "do people in the USA hear about global warming?" that shows that 64% don't talk about it even occasionally, and 66% don't hear about it in the media at least once a week.
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
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.
ALT A chart called "are people in the USA worried about global warming?" It shows that, though, it feels like the split between people who worry about global warming and people who don't is 50/50, in reality, 65% of people are worried.

L.A. city council unanimously approved a transition to 100% clean electricity for the nation's largest public utility, municipally-owned LADWP. They'll have to move fast to transition off of gas to 100% carbon-free mix, a full decade ahead of state goals. utilitydive.com/news/la-appr…
