- Reposted by Fabian DablanderJust a few things I'd like to say about this @hausfath.bsky.social piece. The first is that every 10th of a degree of heating over 2C raises risks for multiple irreversible catastrophes MORE than every 10th of a degree of heating under 2C. That's why the 2C target exists. It's not random. 🧵

- Reposted by Fabian DablanderWhat better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change 🥳💚 We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support. Let me tell you all about it🧵👇
- Reposted by Fabian DablanderOn the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

- Reposted by Fabian Dablander⚠️ When “technology will save us” becomes a climate risk! A new paper from great colleagues takes a careful look at techno-optimism — the belief that technology will largely solve climate change — and what it means for real-world climate action.

- I am beyond excited to announce that the applications are now open for the third Amsterdam Complexity School on Climate Change! Come visit a beautiful city, hear from world-renowned experts, and work with passionate individuals on challenges related to climate change. More info: acscc.nl

- 🚨Techno-optimistic scientists take fewer climate actions In a new preprint, @colognaviktoria.bsky.social, @maiensachis.bsky.social, @jmbh.bsky.social & I examine techno-optimism among 9,199 scientists and how it relates to their civic engagement and lifestyle choices🧵 🔗 Link: tinyurl.com/hh94huzv
- We estimated the share of scientists who believe that "advances in technology will largely solve the problems caused by climate change" and used causally informed Bayesian regression models to estimate the impact of techno-optimism on scientists' civic actions and high-impact lifestyle changes.

- Reposted by Fabian DablanderI was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice.

- Reposted by Fabian DablanderHi all! I’m looking for research jobs in social psychology, environmental action, & climate policy. I study pro-environmental action, moral and identity processes, scientist advocacy, and universities’ climate responses. I use qualitative and quantitative methods for research with real-world impact.

- Reposted by Fabian DablanderSocial movements play an essential role pushing for action on climate and nature, and it’s now widely recognised that support from scientists can make them more effective But not everyone can take to the streets or risk arrest That’s ok – there’s lots we can do in other ways 🧵1/

- Reposted by Fabian DablanderEverything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

- Are climate activists portrayed as polarising & violent in the news media? Are risks & solutions to climate change mentioned? We used ChatGPT to answer these questions based on > 4,200 articles from seven major German newspapers: link.springer.com/article/10.1... w @jmbh.bsky.social & Simon Wimmer
- In our now published letter in @pnas.org, we raise two wider issues for behavioral science: 1) Intentions are poor predictors of behavior 2) Effects on intentions need not generalize to effects on behavior We join calls for researchers to measure actual behavior: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- The second point is a bit nuanced, and I have elaborated on it a bit more on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/fabian... This letter was a collaboration with the great Florian Lange, @cameronbrick.bsky.social, & @swaziadam.bsky.social. You can find the authors' reply at www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

- 🔥 Climate impacts & perception I significantly updated my preprint, which using representative survey data from 142 countries (N=128,093) shows that climate hazard experience is related to higher climate risk perception. Now includes an exploration of country heterogeneity: osf.io/preprints/ps...
- Haha, PsyArXiv confusingly has a "create a new version" button, which is not what you want — it creates a new version (with a new URL) rather than updating the old preprint. To update the old one, one needs to use the "edit preprint" button. So now I have two versions. Thanks Obama!
