This article questioned whether moral domains influence the consumption of news about climate change, specifically young people in Portugal and Brazil. For this, 21,338 tweets in Portuguese were collected that commented on environmental news; the Moral Foundations Questionnaire was applied to 265 young people to identify their predominant morals; and focus groups were carried out with young people from both countries, for analysis of news according to moral domains. The main theoretical reference was the Theory of Moral Attributes. Results indicate that harm and care are the predominant morals in the three stages of the investigation. However, engagement in climate change news depends on the rational justification of the accused individuals.
