This newspaper’s comprehensive foreign media reports reported on the official website of Yale University in the United States on January 24，Research findings by scholars from this school，The terms carbon bet365 score and carbon pollution explain the causes and harms of climate change better than greenhouse gas bet365 score。

It is important to use terminology in communication that is easy for the audience to understand and resonate with，Word choice can influence what people think、Feelings、Attitude and even behavior。Under the topic of climate change，When talking about the main causes of global warming being carbon dioxide and methane bet365 score，People generally use greenhouse gas bet365 score、The words carbon bet365 score and carbon pollution。This study examined Americans’ perceptions and reactions to these different terms。

The study randomly divided 2859 respondents into three groups，and invite them to answer a series of questions，The keywords involved are greenhouse gas bet365 score、Carbon bet365 score and carbon pollution，Other questions and expressions are the same。The study assessed positive or negative feelings related to the term、Feelings about the term’s environmental and health hazards、Understanding the link between fossil fuels and climate change，And first impressions of the term。

Research findings，Compared to greenhouse gas bet365 score，Carbon pollution and carbon bet365 score are two terms that can have negative impacts on human health、Feelings of more serious harm to the environment and air quality。Respondents are more likely to understand that burning fossil fuels produces carbon bet365 score，But the connection between fossil fuel burning and greenhouse gas bet365 score is relatively weak。This shows that carbon bet365 score and carbon pollution explain the causes and effects of climate change better than greenhouse gas bet365 score。

When examining respondents’ associations with terms，Researchers find link between carbon pollution and events that cause harm，Carbon bet365 score are linked to events that cause pollution，Greenhouse gas bet365 score linked to climate change events。Among them，Carbon bet365 score are more likely to be associated with fossil fuels and cars than greenhouse gas bet365 score。In comparison，Greenhouse gas bet365 score evoke more positive associations than the other two words，Such as gardening and plants, etc.。

Researchers believe，The terms carbon bet365 score and carbon pollution better explain the causes and harms of climate change，Greenhouse gases also include non-carbon-based compounds that cause climate change，May be more suitable for situations such as scientific and technical discussions。
