Thank you so much for reading the article carefully and your positive comment on the manuscript.

Reviewer 2 Report

Lines 27-30 - A brief introduction to the meaning of a shale boom might be useful for readers who are not familiar with this concept.

Line 115 - In "manage a risky technology themselves", consider omitting the word 'a'.

Lines 118-123 - Are there other factors at play that affect residents' opposition to SGE?  Is risk perception a factor?

Lines 375-376 - For "One possible explanation is that females are 375 more easily to be affected by China’s pro-shale development propaganda", is there an explanation or citation to support this finding?
