💡New preprint online! 💡https://t.co/dhWhU1fF76

We know communicating climate consensus can inform people. But most research was conducted in the US (which is quite *special*).

We now find that the informing effect of consensus messaging is very robust internationally. But…

Thanks Daniëlle, Jonathan, Gabi, Madalina, and @kim_doell for the great collaboration and thanks to the International Collaboration to Understand Climate Action for sharing such interesting data (linked).

Our new work complements amazing research by @BVeckalov, @SandraJGeiger and others published recently, who found similar results in a large international study.

Our information ecosystem has become a massive false-balance machine.

Needed: more accurate representations of the scientific consensus.

New in @SciPublic - GM/vax consensus effects in Spain. For GM, we find (direct!) effects not only on attitudes but also policy support. This is rare in prior work. 1 reason: GM misperceptions esp widespread here. Conversely, no effect for vax (low misp). https://t.co/LOKr1zs3Pi

Who is skeptical of scientific innovation?👩‍🔬

We ran 2 studies to examine a wide range of potential worldview predictors of skepticism across 3 domains.

Have the Dutch 🇳🇱 gone completely crazy?

Because there is a housing crisis, we are going to sacrifice one of our most succesful export sectors and key international networks.

This is extraordinarily short-sighted.

And the arguments are silly...

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.

When someone doesn’t believe in climate change, or vaccinations, we often point to the “scientific consensus” as a way of persuading them. But is this helpful, or does it backfire?

It helps! Communicating about there being a consensus has positive effect. https://t.co/FMAKrQm0WS
