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.
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.
@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 🌍

"If tropical deforestation were a country, according to the World Resources Institute, it would rank third in carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, behind China and the U.S."
Yeah, it's rather embarrassing. It's the Conservatives, I think.
Humans can not even agree on temperature measurement. We will look so stupid to aliens.
@encthenet @conradhackett Aside from maybe some (real) oldies radio stations, I can't think of where you'd run into °F in Canada anymore. Maybe some legacy systems?
Occasionally my parents might slip into it, but they're in their 80s.
Ah! Baking, of course.
Also apparently pool temperature.
