Do everyday climate actions come at the expense of collective action and policy support? Our new paper in @npjClimateAction says no. Using 4 years of longitudinal data from 2,778 participants, we found no evidence for the crowding out effect. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

A new amazing study led by my brilliant collaborator @colognaviktoria.bsky.social shows it’s not just experiencing extreme weather that matters — it’s whether people link it to climate change. Here’s my piece on it at @aunz.theconversation.com The published paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Experiencing extreme weather and disasters is not enough to change views on climate action, study shows

A 70,000-person global study found understanding how events such as fires and floods are linked to climate change may be a key driver of support for climate action.

Climate scientists are trusted globally, just not as much as other scientists – here’s why

New research shows climate scientists are less trusted than other types of scientists. But there are big differences between countries and specific groups of people.

🚨 New paper in Memory & Cognition with Simon Handley & Rachel Stephens! Do people have #intuitive access to #logic or just rely on simple heuristics? Our findings suggest “intuitive” reasoning often reflects heuristics, not logic. 📄 Read: rdcu.be/ehp0J

Research by @omidghasemi.bsky.social et al suggests the framing effect is a rational response to information implied in the choice of frame—it is attenuated when the frame is not freely chosen and even more if speaker/listener interests are opposed:

New #preprint! We surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries to find out: Where do they come across information about #science? How do they #communicate about it? We also tested country factors like #AcademicFreedom and #PressFreedom and identified interesting patterns 🔎 ➡️ osf.io/preprints/os... 🧵 1/10

Interesting findings about low trust in climate science. I have not read the paper yet, but will do! Seems like food for thought for all of us that do climate science, and the @ipcc.bsky.social more specifically.
