Analysis of online survey about Climate change, five types were identified. In the 2017 survey, these included the “Alarmed,” who strongly feel a sense of crisis about climate change and actively take countermeasures; the “Indifferent,” who have low interest and no clear opinions; the “Skeptical,” who show the opposite response pattern to the Concerned Group and do not doubt or worry about climate change; and two additional groups. Subsequent surveys in 2020 and 2024 revealed a decreasing trend in the proportion of the Indifferent and a weakening tendency in the Skeptical's responses denying or doubting climate change.
