More people care about #ClimateChange than you think (clear evidence for #PluralisticIgnorance about worldwide concern for #GlobalWarming):

@laurahelmuth #PluralisticIgnorance : #ClimateChange edition …

This paper says we underestimate how much other people want climate action

"Our findings reveal widespread support for #ClimateAction. Notably, 69% of the global population expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income, 86% endorse pro-climate social norms and 89% demand intensified political action.

[But] individuals around the globe systematically underestimate the willingness of their fellow citizens to act."

The mismatch between perceived and actual support for the clean #EnergyTransition is huge.

"Specifically, 80–90% of Americans underestimate the prevalence of support for major climate change mitigation policies and climate concern. While 66–80% Americans support these policies, Americans estimate the prevalence to only be between 37–43% on average. "

Thanks to @chidi_anagonye for this link!

So I just #queued a podcast interview by David McRaney with Dr. Jay Van Bavel, and like most You Are Not So Smart episodes it's simply brilliant.

While most episodes take a deep dive into one subject, however, this one dips into many: how #trust shapes #cooperation, #pluralisticignorance, #dunningkruger, how #morality drives hatred... you'll probably find more than one fascinating:
