These data result from an online survey of Americans in 2025 regarding their perceptions of climate change impacts and how these were affecting their decisions about future plans. Concern about climate change is generally high. People expect that climate change will have more negative than positive impacts, more negative impacts in the future than in the present, and more negative impacts to others than to themselves. They report that it has a small to moderate impact on their decisions about the future; a greater impact is predicted by age, education, consideration of future consequences, and especially by climate anxiety.
