I Care About The Environment

An research article published shows that those who are pro-environment tend to have certain traits in common, such as openness, which is associated with cognitive ability and being more willing/able to learn and to develop awareness of the issues involved and the consequences of human actions on the environment. These people also showed greater honesty, humility along with greater caring for others with more empathy and compassion, with more agreeableness. They have high conscientiousness, think things through, And so it goes on..

Here's the article should anyone want to read it.. but the implication, (and my anecdotal findings) would suggest that among those who deny climate change and who are blase or uncaring regarding the environment - have the opposite positive traits.

There are limitations, of course but the research does give a good grounding for understanding why some people are more aware and care and others do not.
