Climate Change Remains Top Global Threat Across 19-Country Survey

Despite the many depressing stories dominating the international news cycle, there is also a note of positivity among survey respondents in views of the UN, the benefits of international cooperation for solving problems and the importance of common values for bringing nations together.

@conradhackett How much of that is being driven by right-wing media consumption vs religious institutions avoiding the topic? I saw the follow-up, but didn't see a good way to break down media diet vs religion as a cause for the attitudes towards climate change.

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/11/17/how-religion-intersects-with-americans-views-on-the-environment/

How Religion Intersects With Americans’ Views on the Environment

Most U.S. adults – including a solid majority of Christians and large numbers of people who identify with other religious traditions – consider the Earth sacred and believe God gave humans a duty to care for it. But highly religious Americans are far less likely than other U.S. adults to express concern about warming temperatures around the globe.

@dsacer Well, politics seems to be the bigger factor than religion but media influence would also be interesting to examine. https://twitter.com/conradhackett/status/1593260322516762624

@conradhackett Yeah. This experiment:

and this longitudinal study:

https://eml.berkeley.edu/~sdellavi/wp/FoxVoteQJEAug07.pdf

suggest that media diet is likely to have a very real impact on partisanship. I'd expect this impact to include attitudes on climate, but don't think I've seen any specific study of that.

120 years of climate change animated

Countries turn from mainly blue to mainly red in more recent years, illustrating the rise in average temperatures in that country.

For each country, the average temperature in 1971-2000 is set as the boundary between blue and red colors, and the color scale varies from +/- 2.6 standard deviations of the annual average temperatures between 1901-2000.

@conradhackett we're on course to starve to death due to crop failures unless, imho:
1. The governments decide to tax wealth and riches of climate polluters to fund radical climate action
2. The world goes vegan. Deforestation alone, due nearly 90% to animal ag. is eating away at the lungs of the 🌍

@misterarix @conradhackett Yes, that's also why it's still in use in much of the formerly British Caribbean. Countries there that were already on the path to independence by the time of the Celsius switchover in 1962 either a) never bothered changing from Fahrenheit or b) quickly changed back to it once they were independent.

@conradhackett did see correctly that the first red bands appear in 1942-45, during WW2, and then the temp drops? I’d like to slow the animation so I can check. If so, I’d love to do a real correlation analysis on different variables to confirm or refute if there’s a correlation btwn say increased exhaust from diesel and petrol fueled vehicles and the temp increase. And perhaps looking at the years of WW1 where there were more horse drawn vehicles might provide useful comparison
