This paper says we underestimate how much other people want climate action
"Our findings reveal widespread support for #ClimateAction. Notably, 69% of the global population expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income, 86% endorse pro-climate social norms and 89% demand intensified political action.
[But] individuals around the globe systematically underestimate the willingness of their fellow citizens to act."

Global support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate action, while a perception gap exists regarding other citizens’ intention to act.
The mismatch between perceived and actual support for the clean #EnergyTransition is huge.
"Specifically, 80–90% of Americans underestimate the prevalence of support for major climate change mitigation policies and climate concern. While 66–80% Americans support these policies, Americans estimate the prevalence to only be between 37–43% on average. "

Thanks to @chidi_anagonye for this link!
A new study finds that Americans underestimate how many are concerned about climate change as well as support for major climate policies by nearly half, with climate policy supporters significantly outnumbering non-supporters.
So I just #queued a podcast interview by David McRaney with Dr. Jay Van Bavel, and like most You Are Not So Smart episodes it's simply brilliant.
While most episodes take a deep dive into one subject, however, this one dips into many: how #trust shapes #cooperation, #pluralisticignorance, #dunningkruger, how #morality drives hatred... you'll probably find more than one fascinating:

In this episode we sit down with NYU psychologist Jay Van Bavel who is very good at Twitter. His feed is always overflowing with the absolute latest and greatest research from psychology with links…
