I argue that mid-sized cities are caught in a pair of negative feedback loops, outcompeted for green capital and green labor by both larger and smaller communities. I also find that successful environmental coalitions are highly tailored to local issues and context. (2/n)

Do persuasive messages convince more people, or do they convince people to a larger degree?
In our new working paper, we examine this question with 14 experiments, 94 messages tested, and 41,265 participants.

๐จNew Preprint๐จ
With a 2nd Trump term, local action on climate is crucial. However, most evidence we have on climate public opinion is on national policies. I remedy this through two surveys examining public opinion toward local climate policies (1/n)

Overall, I show that local climate policy is broadly popular and can offset any policy rollback at the national level. I also offer data relevant to local policy design.

This is for anyone who cares about the climate and is thinking about voting for Jill Stein or RFK Jr. or sitting this election out.
I get your frustration, but I'm asking you: please don't.
Here's why voting for Harris is the best move ๐งต

The Trump plans will drain $๐.๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง from the trust funds by ending taxation of benefits, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, deporting immigrants, who currently pay payroll taxes, an increasing cost-of-living, and thus COLAs through higher tariffs.

The 2nd uses a nationally representative sample of the UK public measuring actual climate engagement to examine barriers to, and predictors of engagement in, climate action. We argue that social identification with activists is an under-appreciated factor:

In the first, we review 53 studies examining the impacts of climate activism on a variety of DVs. We find that CA is highly impactful across a range of DVs, particularly public opinion and media coverage. We also lay out a future research agenda on CA osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/a7โฆ

I evaluate how voters weigh different aspects of climate mitigation policies. I include undertested variables, including policy level (state vs federal-voters prefer federal) and partisan sponsorship of the policy (voters prefer bipartisan, then Dem-only, then Rep-only policies).

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing at a pace 100X faster than previous natural increases. Our planet is warming 10X faster than it has in 65 million years. CO2 has not been consistently above what it is right now in ~14 million years. That's today's Berardelli Bonus.
