There has【C2】______been some decline.【C3】______. a closer look at the data across multiple polls shows that, broadly speaking, the public trusts scientists, believes in global warming and wants governments to do something about it. The public seems to have done what the mainstream media could not: it has kept the scandals in【C4】______.

For them, the real【C9】______of public trust is the level of political【C10】______on global warming: if people truly believe the science,【C11】______why have so few of them demanded action of their governments? The problem is that people assess information from any number of【C12】______. not just scientists. And people make decisions on the【C13】______of self-interest and their own hopes, fears and values, which will not necessarily【C14】______what many researchers deem self-evident.

选项
A、superiority
B、priority
C、urgency
