There’s been a shift in how we think about climate change
www.vox.com
A climate psychologist explains how we’ve moved beyond hope, anger, and complacency toward something more promising.

My takeaways are that more news exposure is good (see the availability heuristic and mere-exposure effect) for putting climate change concern on the agenda, while information campaigns aren’t very useful unless they’re paired with avenues for action. Policy changes (incentives and disincentives, regulations, price changes, social norms) can help with action.

    I think I’m going to need to find another resource to link as an explanation for the BOE, the rest of that site is giving misinformation vibes and fact checking that will take longer than I care to spend. Thanks for pointing this out.
