I would be interested to hear what came out of it. I've also faced students-texts (and sections in papers I reviewed) that I assumed and tools suggested were llm-generated; however, I found it difficult to definitely proof and therefore act upon it.

Very cool! I wonder if this is also applicable to other areas where trust plays a role such trust in democracy. Would stronger involvement in political decision making than sole voting (e.g. via citizens' juries/assemblies, referendums, etc) increase trust in democracy?

What's the source of that grumpyiess? (I think experiments are helpful but should not dominate the field; as shouldn't any one method/theory)

Max N. Burger @maxburger.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

My take: If even severe local disasters don't spark lasting shifts, relying on awareness and voluntarism alone is risky. Sustainability transitions likely need mandatory measures, e.g., carbon prices, phase-outs, binding standards, alongside continued awareness.

Max N. Burger @maxburger.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Takeaway: No broad, durable shifts in climate attitudes or behaviors; prosocial responses are uneven. We need longer tracking, clearer attribution tests, subgroup analysis, and objective behavioral/administrative data alongside surveys.

Max N. Burger @maxburger.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Pro-sociality: While disasters can spark solidarity, empathy, and reciprocity, we found only limited, mixed effects on donations, volunteering, and trust. No uniform rise in "giving." Direct damage mattered, but not in a simple, uniformly positive way.

Max N. Burger @maxburger.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Climate attitudes & action: Across 3 national surveys (N=13,754), flood-exposed regions showed no broad, lasting shifts in climate attitudes, self-reported green behavior, or policy support. Far-off disasters feel distant, but even local catastrophes don't automatically drive lasting change.

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.

Somewhat surprising to me that they decided to inflate the visual representation of difference given that the difference is quite large (increase 100% inside vs decrease 50% outside).

Totally agree! We looked at *technological optimism* (building on the framework) among COP delegates and how it connects to climate policies, especially lower CO₂ pricing. Turns out, putting too much faith in tech solutions can really slow down ambition. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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!

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.

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)

Max N. Burger @maxburger.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Nice! In Germany (where I am from) importance of friends increased over time. Seems to be in contrast to the narrative of ever increasing individualism. At the same time, importance of family scores high (88%, ourworldindata.org/grapher/how-...)

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”.
