The effect of different extreme weather events on attitudes toward climate change

reasoning by considering political ideology. Recent research has shown that wildfire exposure may affect communities differently based on the political composition and sociodemographic characteristics of communities [47, 48]. Secondly, this study provides an application of a dynamic or event DiD, which allows researchers to apply a DiD approach over several time periods. This could be particularly important for evaluating relationships like the effect of extreme weather types, which we have shown can vary over time. Researchers may want to further expand the use of this approach to understand the relationship between extreme weather and climate attitudes. In addition, this strategy may more accurately illuminate a range of other key relationships like the influence of exposure to a political protest or a conflict event on political behavior.
