Politicians trying to get carbon offsets to re-freeze the Arctic:

1️⃣Elena Dilger und @linusmattauch.bsky.social befassen sich mit dem "Klimaschutzparadoxon" - also mit der Frage, warum die starke Zustimmung der Bevölkerung bisher nicht zu entsprechender Politik führt.

Or the national focus of media is restricting the options discussed by societies. Perhaps also vested interests explain the lack of policy supply if there is policy demand. In any case, the real reason why we see not more global climate action is not the view of the people. (6/6)

All methods suggest that the support is either completely sincere, or the share of insincere answers is limited. Perhaps, then, politicians who wish to advance climate action underestimate the support in the population.

We found that surprising and hence used several methods to assess the sincerity of the support: a list experiment, a real-stake petition, conjoint analyses and an exercise involving the prioritization of policies.

Why do we not see more global climate change mitigation policy then? We hypothesized “pluralistic ignorance” (that is people underestimate that other people also like policies) – but only found a bit of that in Europe and essentially none of it in the US.

We document majority support of Global North populations for global emissions trading with equal-per-capita refund.

That’s right: Even if the Global North populations would pay and the Global South would benefit, Global North citizens still strongly support it. @tuberlin.bsky.social ky.social
