It is great to see the Manylabs Climate (ICPC) dataset being reused in new and important ways! @saschakuhn.bsky.social and @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social looked more in-depth into the societal-level structures that shape public support for policy acceptance across the globe.

🧵New preprint out:
How do macro-level structures shape public acceptance of climate policies?
We explore this question using the ICPC #ManyLabs data across 63 countries.
Beyond individual beliefs, how do structural conditions like inequality, fossil dependence, or neoliberalism shape support?

🧵New preprint!
Can experts accurately predict real-world effectiveness of 11 climate change interventions?
We ran a preregistered forecasting study with 862 participants and compared their predictions to real-world outcomes from 6,954 Americans.
What we found surprised us.
