Our latest research evaluates into the best messages to bolster support for climate action and how we planted over 300,000 trees (plus we share a number of new papers and pre-prints)
It's part of another paper, but we find no effect of these different labels (e.g., climate change vs. climate awareness). We found no evidence that it polarizes. As such, we think that focus on terms like this is not a fruitful approach to addressing this issue. We plan to discuss this paper in a future issue of the newsletter so stay tuned to learn more.
Well, we tried 10 popular terms and none of them matter at all. I'd bet a good deal of money that climate awareness has no effect whatsoever. But feel free to run the study and prove me wrong. I'm super open minded. I'd just need to see real evidence rather than assertions and insults to change my beliefs here.
Our approach is to follow the data. To us, it doesn't matter what academics or business or government says. What matters is what works. If you read our paper, you'll see that some things work and others don't. Some academics and practitioners are likely mad about this because their pet idea doesn't work. But the data is the data.

Actually, we shared that preprint in this newsletter. You can see the null effect by reading this pre-print: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/835yt
