The National Surveys on Energy and Environment (NSEE) is an on-going biannual national opinion survey on energy and climate policy. Launched in 2008, over time the NSEE has covered <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://closup.umich.edu/national-surveys-on-energy-and-environment/nsee-data-tables/browse/">topics</a> such as public policy approaches to address climate change including federal, state, and international action; energy policies such as cap-and-trade, carbon taxes, renewable energy requirements, vehicle emissions standards, and many more; and knowledge and attitudes about global warming, climate adaptation, fracking, and geoengineering. From 2008-2012 the survey was called the “National Survey of American Public Opinion on Climate Change” (NSAPOCC); starting in 2013 the survey was renamed to the “National Surveys on Energy and Environment” (NSEE). <br><br>NSEE was <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.closup.umich.edu/files/michigan-muhlenberg-article-201403.pdf">co-founded</a> by professor <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://closup.umich.edu/people/barry-rabe/">Barry Rabe</a> at the University of Michigan and professor <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.muhlenberg.edu/main/aboutus/polling/staff/christopherborick/">Christopher Borick</a> at Muhlenberg College, and is fielded by the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.muhlenberg.edu/main/aboutus/polling/">Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion</a>. For more information about the NSEE, contact <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow">closup-nsee@umich.edu</a>. <br><br>The NSEE is committed to transparency in all facets of our work, including timely release and posting of data from each survey wave. A grant from the Office of the Provost at the University of Michigan has allowed us to provide online access to earlier waves of the NSEE, including <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://closup.umich.edu/national-surveys-on-energy-and-environment/nsee-data-tables.php">frequency tables</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://closup.umich.edu/national-surveys-on-energy-and-environment/nsee-questionnaires.php">survey instruments</a>, and datasets. Users can see a list of topics covered by the NSEE, and search for questions by text, variable name, or variable category on<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://closup.umich.edu/national-surveys-on-energy-and-environment/nsee-data-tables/search/"> CLOSUP's website</a>. <br><span><br>Although the datasets are listed by survey wave, the NSEE is a </span>valuable source of longitudinal public-opinion data on climate change and energy policy. Many questions have been asked over multiple waves, including questions about belief in global warming that have been asked in every wave of the NSEE. <span>Consult the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow">NSEE Crosswalk </a></span>to see which questions have been asked in prior and subsequent waves of the NSEE. To facilitate longitudinal analysis, the NSEE datasets use a longitudinal variable naming scheme to facilitate longitudinal analysis. Variable names include two parts: a subject category for the question, and a description of the contents of the question. When a question has been asked with the same text and response options over multiple waves, the same variable name will be used in each dataset. For more information on the longitudinal naming scheme users should consult the codebooks for the datasets. <br><br><br>
