► Q-method study investigates engagement with climate images from Australian, UK and US newspapers ► Imagery of politicians and celebrities strongly undermines feelings of saliency ► Climate impacts imagery promotes feelings of salience, but undermines self-efficacy ► Imagery of energy futures and personal mitigative behaviours promotes self-efficacy ► Images appear to either increase saliency, or promote efficacy - but not both.
