Since journalistic media are important sources of information about climate change, this article analyzed how distant climate futures are portrayed in journalistic media across four countries (Germany, India, South Africa, and the United States; n=1,010). Findings show that there are only few differences across countries; representations of distance rather varied with the type of climate future scenario portrayed. The most frequent scenarios in journalistic reporting were distant \u2014 especially regarding the temporal, spatial, and social dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GuentherBruggemannPsychological-Distance_R1_FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DOWNLOAD<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guenther, L., &amp; Br\u00fcggemann, M.
