CelloMom On CarsThis 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."

Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate Change
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. "
