If I had the opportunity to quite my job and dedicate my life to advocating for public action to eradicate ticks, I would do so in a heartbeat
We're losing the outdoors to a disease spreading menace. I know I avoided many nature jaunts out of fear of a lifechanging infection.
![Fig. 1: Adoption of climate actions by their climate change mitigation potential. Average adoption rates and objective emission mitigation potentials in kilograms CO2e per capita and year of 34 individual-level climate actions aggregated across the three US samples included in the present research (n = 2,924; Supplementary Table 2). The data illustrate the negative relationship between the adoption of climate actions and their mitigation potential (r = −0.51, 95% CI [−0.72; −0.21], t(32) = −3.37, P = 0.002, one-sample t-test, two-sided, against r = 0). Only short labels of the climate actions are shown; see Supplementary Table 2 for full descriptions.
