Muito al?m de tratar-se apenas de um aumento da temperatura mundial, as MCGs atingem atualmente a esfera das pol?ticas p?blicas, gerando interfer?ncias na vida dos seres humanos. ? importante ainda salientar que em se tratando das MCGs, existe uma dist?ncia temporal das consequ?ncias mais alarmantes do fen?meno, bem como da efic?cia das a??es de enfrentamento, que tem suas respostas a longo prazo. Torna-se, portanto, de extrema import?ncia a considera??o do futuro, de forma a pensarmos n?o s? nas mudan?as de comportamento refletindo na atualidade, mas em d?cadas e s?culos ? frente. Ao levar em considera??o que as crian?as de hoje experienciar?o as consequ?ncias mais graves do problema, o estudo em quest?o investigou como 46 crian?as de 7 a 10 anos, de duas escolas particulares natalenses percebem as MCGs a partir das informa??es que recebem sobre esse tema. O estudo adotou uma perspectiva multimetodol?gica, que envolveu t?cnicas combinadas de entrevista semiestruturada, desenho e grupo focal com as crian?as participantes, de modo a proporcionar uma abordagem l?dica adequada a esse p?blico. A an?lise dos dados integrou os resultados das tr?s t?cnicas, cujo conte?do possibilitou a cria??o de eixos tem?ticos, relacionados aos referenciais te?ricos dos estudos da Psicologia Ambiental. Os eixos tem?ticos assim obtidos foram: local-global, causa-consequ?ncia, impacto ? vida humana ? aos ecossistemas e mitiga??o ? adapta??o. Os resultados demonstraram que apesar da alta complexidade, os participantes puderam se expressar a respeito do tema, principalmente quando quest?es ambientais foram previamente trabalhadas no contexto escolar. Essa constata??o, aliada ao compromisso manifestado pelas crian?as com medidas de mitiga??o, fornece subs?dios importantes para o planejamento de projetos de educa??o ambiental para este p?blico. / Global Climate Changes (GCC) are generally disclosed and discussed as Global Warming (GW), a term that restricts the problem to an increase in temperature. Besides being just an increase in global temperature, GCC now reaches the public policies sphere, causing interference in the lives of human beings. It is important to point out that in the case of GCC there is a temporal detachment from the current moment to the most alarming consequences of the phenomenon, as well as uncertainty about the effectiveness of mitigation actions, which have their necessarily present long-term answers. It is therefore of utmost importance, consideration of the future, to think not only in behavior changes reflecting today, but in decades and centuries ahead. Taking into account that today's children will experience the most serious consequences of the problem sometime in the future, the study aimed to investigate how 46 children aged 7 a 10 years old from two private schools from Natal perceive GCC through the information they receive about this topic. The study adopted a multi-methodological perspective with the participating children, involving combined techniques of semi-structured interview, drawing and focus group, in order to provide a ludic approach appropriate to this audience. The analysis of the data integrated the results of the three techniques, whose content allowed the creation of thematic axes, related to the theoretical references of the environmental psychology literature. The thematic axes thus obtained were: local-global, cause-consequence, impact on human life ? on ecosystems and mitigation - adaptation. The results showed that despite the high complexity, the participants were able to express themselves about the theme, especially when the topics had been previously treated in the school context. This finding, together with the commitment expressed by children with mitigation measures, provides important subsidies for the planning of environmental education projects for this public.

The scientific evidences point out to the influence of human actions for its drastic intensification. Therefore, studies of the psychological aspects involved become relevant. This study aimed at the investigation of the views of adolescents concerning GCCs, and the possible relations between those views and their pro-ecological commitment. Such commitment is measured by willingness for engagement in pro-environmental behaviors; environmentalism attitudes, like ecocentric and anthropocentric; consideration of future consequences; and ecological worldviews. Participants were 348 adolescents who answered a questionnaire containing questions about socio-demographic data, open questions about the practice of environmental care, and about GCCs, and the scales of Ecocentric and Anthropocentric Environmentalism, the Consideration of Future Consequences and the Ecological Worldviews assessment scale. From the inter-relationships between variables, procedures carried out by means of descriptive and correlacional statistics, it was observed that 55% of teenagers said that they did not engage in actions of environmental care, which was associated with apathyanthropocentric, immediatism, and individualism. The consideration of future consequences joined the practice of environmental care, corroborating evidence from the literature. It was evident that views concerning GCCs were superficial; adolescents perceive it as a generic environmental problem, and are confused with other problems such as pollution. This study found no association between views about GCCs and the indicators of pro-ecological commitment, perhaps due to the conceptual confusion about the subject. However, the lack of environmental care actions and other indicators of non-commitment (apathy-anthropocentric, individualism and immediatism) were associated with conceptually poor or incomplete responses (with no indication of cause, consequence or responsibility for the problem), demonstrating diminished knowledge and the failure to consider these issues / Nos ?ltimos anos, muito tem se falado a respeito das mudan?as clim?ticas globais (MCGs), popularmente conhecidas como aquecimento global. As evid?ncias cient?ficas ressaltam a influ?ncia das a??es humanas para sua dr?stica intensifica??o. Diante disto, estudos de aspectos psicol?gicos relacionados ? tem?tica ganham relev?ncia. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar o posicionamento de adolescentes diante das MCGs, e as poss?veis rela??es deste com o seu compromisso pr?-ecol?gico. Tal compromisso tem como indicadores, nesta investiga??o: o cuidado ambiental auto-relatado, ambientalismos ecoc?ntrico e antropoc?ntrico, a considera??o de conseq??ncias futuras, e as vis?es ecol?gicas de mundo. Participaram do estudo 348 adolescentes, que responderam a um question?rio, contendo quest?es sobre dados s?cio-demogr?ficos, quest?es abertas sobre a pr?tica de cuidado ambiental, e sobre MCGs, e as escalas de Ambientalismo Ecoc?ntrico e Antropoc?ntrico, de Considera??o de Conseq??ncias Futuras e de avalia??o das Vis?es Ecol?gicas de Mundo. A partir das inter-rela??es entre vari?veis, feitas por meio de procedimentos estat?sticos descritivos e correlacionais, observou-se que 55% dos adolescentes afirmaram n?o praticar a??es de cuidado ambiental, o que se associou ? apatia-antropoc?ntrica, ao imediatismo, e ao individualismo. J? a considera??o de futuro se associou ?s pr?ticas de cuidado ambiental, corroborando evid?ncias da literatura. Evidenciou-se que o posicionamento diante das MCGs ? superficial; os adolescentes as percebem como um problema ambiental gen?rico, e as confundem com outros problemas, como a polui??o. Este estudo n?o encontrou associa??o entre o posicionamento diante das MCGs e indicadores de compromisso pr?-ecol?gico, talvez devido ? confus?o conceitual a respeito do tema. Todavia, a aus?ncia de pr?tica de cuidado e os demais indicadores de n?o-compromisso (apatia-antropoc?ntrica, individualismo e imediatismo) se associaram ?s respostas mais conceitualmente pobres, ou incompletas (sem indica??o de causa, conseq??ncia ou de respons?vel pelo problema), evidenciando, al?m do conhecimento emba?ado, a n?o considera??o destas quest?es
