How do scientists engage with climate change beyond research? What barriers to engagement do they perceive?

We just updated our preprint, adding several cool new analyses :) I'll also be presenting this work at #EGU24 on Monday! Maien Sachisthal jonas haslbeck osf.io/preprints/psya…

new in @natureclimate, including Florian Lange @kuleuven: to realize full potential of behavioral science for climate change mitigation, a shift is needed towards solutions-focused research that is directly useful to citizens, policymakers & change agents

🐷New paper in Nature Food🐷

THE BAD NEWS: overall, we found trade-offs. Farms with lower GHGs had lower land use, but higher antimicrobial use and poorer welfare.

THE GOOD NEWS: trade-offs weren't inevitable. Several farms performed well in all four ways. 1/5

Happy to share a preprint of some of my PhD work🚨

🚨Stop Scrolling!

Let's pause & reflect a minute about what this shocking picture of Greta Thunberg 's arrest tells us about the current state of #climate politics.

A short 🧵on some key lessons we can take from this image

At the time, the saying at MSU was 'Always trust MSU grad students.' Couldn't agree more.

Re-watching the great dontlookupfilm. I especially love the part where the president ask for a second opinion from Ivy League universities because she doesn’t believe the Michigan State University researchers 😂🤯

Beautifully captures reality!

🚨 It's well-documented that the wealthy harms the environment much more than those at the bottom at the pyramid. This may seem intuitive: affluence boosts consumption, which requires more resources and emissions.

❓But do people notice this huge ecological footprint inequality?

Bernardo Andretti Yan Vieites Also, make sure to check out Kristian Steensen Nielsen 's paper on misperceptions of carbon footprint! I think their paper complements ours quite nicely (e.g., different measurement, other countries, they look at downstream consequences while we focus on causes). x.com/kristiansn89/s…
