Two heatmaps of the United States—one showing prevalence of climate change skepticism in red and the other showing flooding risk in blue—combine to make a third map where regions are colored in one of 16 possibilities. The darkest purple regions, notably in Appalachia, reveal where there is high flood risk and climate change skepticism.
