New study finds that emphasizing collective efficacy (people's ability to catalyze large-scale change) is very effective in catalyzing behavioural change. As you can see from my pinned post, I'm a big fan of simple messages that can mobilize public support for climate action!

Abstract. Addressing climate change depends on large-scale system changes, which require public advocacy. Here, we identified and tested 17 expert-crowdsou

More climate disaster won't necessarily lead to more climate change mitigation support. In our newest paper, we find people closest to the fires in the 2021-2022 fire season prioritized local adaptive action, rather than mitigation. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Americans: it takes just a minute to submit a comment to the EPA asking them to preserve the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which finds carbon dioxide emissions to be dangerous to public health/welfare..it underpins all subsequent federal regulation of CO2 emissions www.regulations.gov/commenton/EP...

Looking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided. Your comment can be scientific, legal, or just about what the American people want.. Reversal: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

According to a new report by those hippies at Morgan Stanley, in the past year 55% of North American companies have experienced a #ClimateChange related event that impacted their operations or business. That's a lot!

The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. 🔌💡

We are hiring a pre-doc at Stanford to work on (among other things) a project called Public Pulse, which will provide reports on public opinion in the US, and potentially fill the void of things like 538. Please share with your undergrads. iriss.stanford.edu/predoc/2025-...
