Viewing climate change as an emergency does not always move people to act due to many psychological barriers that limit climate change mitigation. Frantz and Mayer in their article “The Climate Change Emergency: Why Are We Failing to Act?” Published in Analysis of Social Issues and Public Policy (2009) and Gifford in “The Dragons of Inaction. Psychological Barriers Limiting Mitigation of Climate Change and Adaptation" published in American Psychology (2011), discussed the reasons why the American public fails to take action against climate change even though they know it is a serious problem. They also offered some tips that help overcome these barriers. Having a connection with the environment could help a lot in seeing subtle changes; therefore, it could really help to see any emergency that might occur. According to Frantz and Mayer, people who spend more time in the environment are more likely to notice the effects of climate change and to notice changes occurring in the environment in general. They also indicated that they will not only notice changes in the environment, but will easily search for information about potential environmental changes, which is very promising for considering climate change as an emergency. They also stated that, due to modern life, people do not directly depend on nature for their livelihood and that, due to their jobs requiring movement from one place to another, they will not have a deep connection with a specific environment , which makes it possible to notice climate change. really difficult. Gifford, agreed with Frantz and Mayer that a weaker attachment to place could be a barrier to climate-positive behavior. He also wrote that if… in the middle of the paper… it worsens at a behavioral level, define, observe and record, intervene, test the intervention and then evaluate the program, create new ways to feed the information to consumers and citizens, improve understanding of the basis of public support, design and conduct more intervention studies that improve carbon-related behavioral choices, and work closely with other disciplines. In listing some strategies for overcoming barriers, Gifford, Frantz, and Mayer said that because people forget to take appropriate actions, they suggested reminders as a solution. They also suggested that policies should lay the foundation for behavior because when they become normative, they will become less relevant.
