Happy to have had the opportunity to take a larger view of our research to date on public perceptions of #SRM for the #GENIE project. Thanks to @srm360.bsky.social for the invitation!

📊 New Perspective from @chadmbaum.bsky.social & #GENIE Project researchers: Global surveys show #SolarGeoengineering support may be higher than assumed – especially in the Global South. ✅ 57% back small trials ❌ 12% reject SRM outright Read the full piece: buff.ly/2fn9EeA

Majority of African citizens (i) have not heard of climate change and (ii) place main responsibility for climate action on own governments or ordinary citizens-not historical emitters. Data from Afrobarometer (2021-23), N=53,444, in 39 countries 🔗https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-025-02244-x

The idea of planting trees to sequester carbon is so popular that it makes people feel more negative towards a range of other techniques for carbon removal. Such a bias could hamper development of a socially-robust portfolio of carbon removal options. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Media coverage on our recent article in Risk Analysis, from the always enjoyable @anthropocenemag.bsky.social and @sarahdeweerdt.bsky.social. Quite enjoyed this thoughtful write-up of our article. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/03/huge...

Huge new study exposes disparate climate emotions around the world—and their consequences

Northern Europeans are the least hopeful. Greeks, Spaniards, and Italians are angry and sad. And, citizens of the Global South—and the United States—are the most hopeful.

Fear, hope, anger, sadness, and worry—our emotions about climate change directly influence our willingness to support policies that address it. IIASA researcher Elina Brutschin and colleagues from Aarhus University, explored how climate emotions shape public attitudes toward mitigation measures.
