Check out coverage of my research on climate disasters and voting in @climate. Thank you @Mattg2235 for a thoughtful look at this question, just in time for election season!
More people in the US and Europe are experiencing floods, fires and other climate disasters, but it's not generally changing how they vote https://t.co/1SEDkHWscQ
Andrea La Nauze, Liam Falconer and I study @ThePurpleAir network in new research. Wildfire pollution increases air monitoring especially in wealthy areas. This suggests a role for public policy to improve monitoring in areas with strong environmental justice concerns.
Does wildfire smoke encourage individuals to provide public air-quality monitoring?
This new #JEEM paper by @_mikes_mic, Liam Falconer, and @andrealanauze suggest that wildfire shocks lead to increased adoption of purple-air monitors

These sorts of voter demand shifts will only become more important as climate change impacts become increasingly widespread. Thanks @CAL_FIRE and @CASOSVote for compiling some great data!
