Abstract
Two experiments were run to assess the attention grabbing properties of (1) positive vs. negative images of climate change and (2) images of climate change causes, effects, and solutions. The results suggest people are most attentive to positively valent images of climate change solutions (e.g., windmills and solar panels).
