Our study demonstrates the dangers of entrenched affective polarisation on how the public engages with science. In a world of overlapping crises, science communication needs strategies to address cross-domain polarisation. Check out the full paper for details: arxiv.org/abs/2502.05255
Incivility and Contentiousness Spillover between COVID-19 and Climate Science Engagement
Affective polarization and its accompanying cleavage-based sorting drives incivility and contentiousness around climate change and other science-related issues. Looking at the COVID-19 period, we stud...

We also show that pre-existing political cleavages—anti-internationalist populist sentiments—provide a pathway for this spillover, helping link climate skepticism to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. This overlap further entrenches anti-science sentiment across different policy domains.

These findings highlight a "cross-domain spillover": political flashpoints in one science-related issue (e.g., vaccine hesitancy) can fuel hostility in another (e.g., climate policy). In other words, polarised behaviours are not confined to a single topic—they can spread.

By analysing millions of climate change and climate science posts, we found that mentions of COVID-19 or Anthony Fauci derailed climate conversation into incivility and contentiousness. These patterns strengthened during major pandemic events.
