Welt im Umbruch. Politikwissenschaft auch? 🌍 Text-as-data approaches definitely are: LLMs now code, classify and summarize political texts at a scale unimaginable a decade ago, albeit often without the validation standards we built over 25 years. #dvpw2027 @dvpw.bsky.social

💭 Looks like the heat wave has brought some attention to my study - enough that it got a mention in the New York Times 👉 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/w... It’s also a good example of how weather extremes can shift public attention toward climate change (without necessarily prompting policy change).

Globally, 84% of the heatwave days people were exposed to in 2020-24 would not have occurred without climate change. The rate of deaths associated with heat exposure increased by 23% from the 1990s, reaching 546,000 deaths annually. Look where people are dying. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

A figure containing two world maps stacked vertically, labeled "A" (top) and "B" (bottom). The entire image is captioned at the bottom: "Figure 2: Average percentage of total deaths that were heat-related in 1990–99 (A) and 2012–21 (B)".

A single color-coded legend on the left side applies to both maps, showing a gradient of 17 steps. The scale ranges from very pale cream/pink representing the lowest percentage ("0.00 to <0.25") to increasingly darker shades of orange, red, and finally dark maroon/black representing the highest percentage ("3.75 to 4.00"). Antarctica is shaded grey on both maps.

Map A (Top Map - 1990–99): Shows the global distribution of heat-related deaths as a percentage of total deaths during the 1990s. Most of North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia are shaded in light cream or pale orange colors, indicating low percentages (generally below 1.00%). The highest percentages are concentrated in North Africa, parts of the Middle East, and parts of Central/Southern Africa, which are shaded in medium-to-dark red, with a couple of countries showing very dark maroon patches.

Map B (Bottom Map - 2012–21): Shows the same metric for the 2012–21 period. Compared to Map A, there is a visible and significant intensification of color globally, particularly across the African continent and the Middle East. A large, continuous block of countries across North Africa, West Africa, and the Middle East is now shaded in the darkest maroon and black tones, indicating that heat-related deaths make up the highest bracket of total deaths (up to 4.00%). Central and Southern Africa also display much darker shades of red and maroon compared to Map A, while South America (notably Argentina) and parts of South Asia show a slight darkening into deeper orange-red tones.

New article! Everywhere you vote, you always take the weather with you: the effects of local temperature anomalies on Green party voting by @haakjes.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/0964...

ABSTRACT
Does local exposure to weather extremes and anomalies influence voting behavior? Previous research has linked extreme weather events, temperature anomalies, and attitudes toward climate change. However, the impact on political behavior remains understudied, and only a few studies have analyzed aggregate electoral data. This study examines the effect of temperature anomalies on support for Alliance 90/The Greens in Germany from 2017 to 2021. By linking georeferenced individual-level panel survey data from over 21,200 German voters with temperature records from over 465 weather stations, I find that individuals are more likely to vote for the Greens when locally exposed to temperature anomalies. Although both positive and negative anomalies are associated with increased support for the Greens, the effect of abnormally warm temperatures is more than twice as strong as that of abnormally cool ones. Moreover, I demonstrate that the effects extend to weather extremes such as constant rainfall and storms.
