A new amazing study led by my brilliant collaborator @colognaviktoria.bsky.social shows it’s not just experiencing extreme weather that matters — it’s whether people link it to climate change.
Here’s my piece on it at @aunz.theconversation.com

Experiencing extreme weather and disasters is not enough to change views on climate action, study shows
A 70,000-person global study found understanding how events such as fires and floods are linked to climate change may be a key driver of support for climate action.

Climate scientists are trusted globally, just not as much as other scientists – here’s why
New research shows climate scientists are less trusted than other types of scientists. But there are big differences between countries and specific groups of people.

🚨 New paper in Memory & Cognition with Simon Handley & Rachel Stephens!
Do people have #intuitive access to #logic or just rely on simple heuristics?
Our findings suggest “intuitive” reasoning often reflects heuristics, not logic.

Most of us trust scientists, shows a survey of nearly 72,000 people worldwide
A global new survey shows there’s no crisis of trust in scientists, as some might claim. But there are some nuances.

New paper!
Across two large experiments (6,000+ participants globally), we found no evidence that subtle differences in climate change terminology influence willingness to take climate action.
