🔓️ Why stay in #climaterisk areas if moving is financially feasible? @bjoernvollan.bsky.social @steimani.bsky.social @maxburger.bsky.social & Andreas Neef find that place attachment, selective risk information avoidance, sunk-cost reasoning, & low adaptation self-efficacy shape mobility decisions ⬇️ 🇧🇩

Do climate disasters change us? New research with Hoenow & Karki (RWI Essen) examines Germany's devastating 2021 Ahrtal flood. We'd expect a disaster in your backyard to spark urgent climate action—but does it actually? Our findings: it's complicated. 🧵 Paper (OA): doi.org/10.1007/s105...

We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia. That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.

Die Kids sind polarisierter zwischen Jungs und Mädchen denn je. Immer mehr Studien weisen darauf hin. Weltweit. Zuletzt in Norwegen. Und bei uns auch die Wahlen:
Wahlergebnisse der 18-24-jährigen in Deutschland nach Geschlecht:
Die Linke: 34% bei Frauen, 15% bei Männern
AfD: 14% bei Frauen, 25% bei Männern
Union: 10 / 17
SPD: 12 / 12
Grüne: 13 / 11
FDP: 4 / 7
BSW: 6 / 6

Text: Wales plant Strafen für Lügen in der Politik. 
Die Regierung von Wales hat angekündigt, ein Gesetz einzuführen, das bewusste Falschaussagen in der Politik erschwert, indem es strafrechtliche Ermittlungen und sogar die Amtsenthebung ermöglicht. Das Gesetz soll weltweit Pioniercharakter haben.

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index. The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe. #journalism #democracy #freepress rsf.org/en/index

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive? Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%. This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!
Six colored circles representing the proportion of people in the US who are alarmed, concerned, cautious, disengaged, doubtful and dismissive about climate change. 72% are alarmed, concerned or cautious! Source: https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/about/projects/global-warmings-six-americas/

2024 kam 🇩🇪 erstmals seit 1961 ohne Atomstrom aus. Was wurde gewarnt: Blackouts, Brownouts, explodierende Strompreise & Kohle-Comeback. Stattdessen war Strom immer verfügbar, die Preise sind stabil, mit 37,2% Anteil historischer Tiefstand foss. Brennstoffe & mit 62,7% ein Rekordanteil von PV & Wind😊

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

5 Schlagzeilen, die man in 🇩🇪 nie lesen wird: 1.) Preisschock: D-Ticket über Nacht 9€ rauf 2.) 17 Mrd Subventionen - Zwingt der Staat uns ins Auto? 3.) Abzocke: Öffi-Einzelticket schon über 4€ 4.) Über 400 Fahrradtote - wie die Behörden versagen 5.) An Kaufkraft gemessen: Sprit immer billiger

In Germany, 55% find friendship very important (and further 41% rather important). At the same time, 88% deem family very important (ourworldindata.org/grapher/how-...). Contradicting the narrative of individualism? (Or showing discrepancy between wishes and reality)

#ClimateAdaptation is about the people and their connections to the places they call home. But what happens when the value of these connections is left out of the equation? Our new study @steimani.bsky.social @maxburger.bsky.social explores whether relational values can fit into monetary frameworks

I’m not a doomer but it feels like we’re pretty far to the right side already.
A satirical timeline titled "Climate Change," featuring phases of denial and acceptance. The phases include "Climate change isn't real," "OK, climate change is real, we're just not convinced it's caused by humans," which together occupies most of the timeline. This is followed by "Oops," and finally "fuck”.

Way to go ExpEcon & Psy: Pre-registrations still less common then one would expect, and if done, often difficult to access. The is for the nicely summarized insights!
