The bad news: On controversial topics such as climate change, a significant number of Americans do not use science to inform their views.

But new data indicate that, compared to 25 years ago or more, those recent increases are far steeper than previously realized. That could boost how much scientists expect seas will rise in coming decades. Such information is important for people living near coastlines. Carling Hay was on a team of scientists that...
