Query: Determining feature importance for actionable climate change mitigation
  policies   Given the importance of public support for policy change and implementation,
public policymakers and researchers have attempted to understand the factors
associated with this support for climate change mitigation policy. In this
article, we compare the feasibility of using different supervised learning
methods for regression using a novel socio-economic data set which measures
public support for potential climate change mitigation policies. Following this
model selection, we utilize gradient boosting regression, a well-known
technique in the machine learning community, but relatively uncommon in public
policy and public opinion research, and seek to understand what factors among
the several examined in previous studies are most central to shaping public
support for mitigation policies in climate change studies. The use of this
method provides novel insights into the most important factors for public
support for climate change mitigation policies. Using national survey data, we
find that the perceived risks associated with climate change are more decisive
for shaping public support for policy options promoting renewable energy and
regulating pollutants. However, we observe a very different behavior related to
public support for increasing the use of nuclear energy where climate change
risk perception is no longer the sole decisive feature. Our findings indicate
that public support for renewable energy is inherently different from that for
nuclear energy reliance with the risk perception of climate change, dominant
for the former, playing a subdued role for the latter.
