According to this new study, our paper is among the 1% of environmental psychology papers that engaged with the role of racism in the 55-year history of two of the large journals. Those journals published 4,500 papers in that time; only 45 mentioned racism. 1/n.

With Fox News hosts nominated for the cabinet, I wanted to share takeaways from two recently-accepted papers w @jkalla.bsky.social on partisan TV.
There's been much skepticism that partisan TV actually affects public opinion.
Our findings rebut that skepticism: partisan media matters! 🧵

Do persuasive messages convince more people, or do they convince people to a larger degree?
In our new working paper, we examine this question with 14 experiments, 94 messages tested, and 41,265 participants.

Key findings:
• Exposure to IPCC report increases belief accuracy, policy support
• Effects similar by party/prior beliefs
• But NO change in willingness to donate

NEW PAPER: Decarbonization isn't just about climate—it's also about public health. We find that economy-wide CO2 reductions can lead to widespread improvements in air quality and health benefits, ranging from $65 billion to $250 billion annually by 2035.

Science doesn't exist in a vacuum. Values always play a role, especially in thorny issues like climate change.
Here, @christelvaneck.bsky.social, @lydiamessling.bsky.social & I argue it's time to move beyond the pipe dream of neutrality + empower scientists to engage openly with societal values. 🧪
