Twenty years ago, climate denial was a problem of the right. Today, AI denial is a problem of the left, and the consequences could be even more disastrous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpTZ...

How does climate threat fuel polarization? 🧵 In our new paper, we introduce the ARCADE model. Using a 1,967-person experiment, we found that authoritarians suppress climate anger toward leaders and displace it onto outgroups, driving policy obstruction. Read: doi.org/10.1016/j.cr...

This is a bang on thread from @brenttoderian.bsky.social about how politicians need to get smart on how to listen to residents but also lead and deliver at pace. All too often 'consult more/better' is code for delay, weaken, cancel action & favour the status quo while our cities stay broken...

1. Here’s a thread on #NIMBY (“not in my backyard”) and the challenges of change in cities: First off, although it might feel that way, NIMBY isn’t unique to your city, and it’s (probably) not worse in your city than anywhere else. It’s also not surprising, since it’s largely about human nature.

Book Review: "More Everything Forever"

A book that takes Silicon Valley's unserious ideas seriously, and then delightfully tears them apart.

As an avid observer of algorithms I think I’ve figured out part of what happened here. FB now explicitly looks for and directs posts you’re opposed to into your feed, to rage-bait engagement. So now my posts are being actively boosted into people’s feeds of who reject climate. Ha! 😄😵‍💫

Katharine Hayhoe@katharinehayhoe.com · 9mo ago

In 2018, Meta decided “clean energy” and “climate change” were politically sensitive topics, and demanded that I - a climate scientist - register as a political org to post and boost posts on them. I refused, and my page has been shadow banned since then. For 7 years. Until this week, that is 😳

Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an existential threat, enabling its government to strategize for worst-case scenarios, the country's climate minister told Reuters.

Hi all! I’m looking for research jobs in social psychology, environmental action, & climate policy. I study pro-environmental action, moral and identity processes, scientist advocacy, and universities’ climate responses. I use qualitative and quantitative methods for research with real-world impact.

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold. “We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 11mo ago

A solar farm that could have powered “all the households in Witney” has been refused permission by West Oxfordshire District Council. Councillors were concerned about the risk of fire, one drawing parallels to the 1966 Aberfan disaster: “Until someone can guarantee it is safe, I can’t support it.”
