- Reposted by Sara ConstantinoNew study finds that emphasizing collective efficacy (people's ability to catalyze large-scale change) is very effective in catalyzing behavioural change. As you can see from my pinned post, I'm a big fan of simple messages that can mobilize public support for climate action!

- As wildfires burn at home in 🇵🇹 and here in CA, we have a new paper that finds: exposure to fires doesn’t necessarily predict greater support for climate change mitigation. But people closest to the 2021-2022 fires do prioritize personal adaptive action. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- Wonderful to work with @talbotmandrews.bsky.social @acooperman.bsky.social @gard-murray.bsky.social on this!
- Reposted by Sara ConstantinoMore climate disaster won't necessarily lead to more climate change mitigation support. In our newest paper, we find people closest to the fires in the 2021-2022 fire season prioritized local adaptive action, rather than mitigation. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

- Reposted by Sara ConstantinoLooking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided.
