Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. The visual editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the visual editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the visual editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.

Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

Public opinion on climate change

This article is relating to my topic environmental documentary and climate change. There is only nature documentary in Wikipedia, so I cannot find specific article about environmental documentary. In this article, I find out that in 2014 Gallup Poll surveys, there are more than 50% people do not worry or have little worry about climate change problem. This article addressed people's perception about climate change through different factors like geographic region, education, demographics, political identification and more. There are also some issues like sciences, economics, media, and politics exist to affect it. They are general factors about public opinion, but I want to know more about what factors would increase public awareness about climate change. This article is important for me to read first, then I will know the basic public perception on climate change. My research topic is about finding out the positive effects of environmental documentary. I believe that environmental documentary can enhance public perception and bring public actions.

I clicked few citations and I found that they are fairly presented to support the claims in this article. Those references are worthy to read, and almost every paragraph has at least one citation in text. I found that these reference articles are relating to my topic and also what I need.

Most information in this article is before 2014, which means it is out of date. Only few paragraphs are talking about 2017. I think much up-to-date information is needed. Generally, this article is not completed enough for people to read. There are still sufficient information that needs to be added by researchers. I will try my best to provide supplement of this area.

A 2007–2008 Gallup Poll surveyed individuals in 128 countries. This poll queried whether the respondent knew of global warming and, for those who were aware of the issue, whether or not they thought it was human-induced. Over a third of the world's population were unaware of global warming, with developing countries less aware than developed, and Africa the least aware. Of those aware, residents of Latin America and developed countries in Asia led the belief that climate change is a result of human activities while Africa, parts of Asia and the Middle East, and a few countries from the former Soviet Union led in the opposite. Opinion within the United Kingdom was divided. Opinions in the United States vary intensely enough to be considered a culture war. A Gallup poll in 2014 concluded that 51 percent of Americans were a little or not at all worried about climate change, 24 percent a great deal and 25 percent a fair amount.
