It's out!!!
SO thrilled to share our (w/ Tobias Brosch PSBC Lab - UniBasel Evelina Trutnevyte) Registered Report 'Psychological inoculation strategies to comprehensively fight climate disinformation across 12 countries' in Nature Human Behaviour nature.com/articles/s4156… a (bittersweet thread) 1/

It was fun to test the impact of trust inoculation on protecting support for geothermal #energy during seismic truck campaign in Geneva. Innovative empirical work at its best by Tobia Spampatti (TSpampatti.bsky.social) Tobias Brosch and Ulf Hahnel. And you never know what you find!

In our latest paper we show that car owners systematically underestimate the capacity of electric vehicles to meet their mobility needs, opening up new ways to promote the electrification of mobility with scientifically informed interventions: nature.com/articles/s4156…

#COP26 #ClimateActionNow

'Hearing no objections, it is so decided.“

In Glasgow, governments have just adopted the first key decisions of the #COP26 closing plenary.

📢 BREAKING: The #COP26 Glasgow Climate Pact has been agreed.

It has kept 1.5 degrees alive.

But, it will only survive if promises are kept and commitments translate into rapid action.
