šš„ These warming stripes represent the Earth's average temperature from 1850 to 2024.
The pattern couldnāt be clearer, climate change is here, and itās accelerating.
Today is #ShowYourStripes day. Letās show the stripes and commit to taking action on climate change.

Claude Fable 5 (nee Mythos) is out today. One of the ways I like to test new models is by giving them daily global temperature data (ERA5) and asking them to come up with some creative and compelling visualizations. Here is how Fable did!

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026)
It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral
It instantly went viral.
People watched it over and over again.
It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

After quite a bit of uncertainty about whether it would actually happenālargely due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East making travel difficultāIām pleased to announce that Iāll be presenting (remotely) at the AFPP 2026 conference in Manchester next month.

We found that disruptive tactics directed at targets perceived as undeserving were judged as immoral and unjust, provoked greater anger at activists, and reduced activist support compared to actions targeting entities seen as more responsible for the climate crisis.

Pleased to share a new paper led by Samuel Pearson and co-authored by myself and others, now published in @SciReports.
We tested whether people can be persuaded out of misinformation about wind farms through short conversations with generative AI: doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-4ā¦

However, effects were modest, sometimes faded over time, and were not consistently more effective than traditional fact sheet-based materials.

Suggests that generative AI can play a useful role in correcting misinformation, but is best understood as a complement to existing approaches.

Do some climate protests backfire because theyāre disruptive, or because they target the āwrongā people?
A preprint of my latest project has just been uploaded to PsyArXiv:

Across two preregistered studies, we find:
šÆ The exact same disruptive tactic is judged very differently depending on the target of disruption.
šÆ Targeting āundeservingā entities ā perceived as more immoral, unjust, and anger-inducing.
šÆ Leads to lower support for activists.

Suggests that backlash to extreme climate activism isnāt just about the extremity of tactics, but the perceived deservingness of who those tactics disrupt.
It was a pleasure to work on this paper with Matthew Hornsey, Michael Thai, and Maja Kutlaca. š

We found that support for radical climate activism is not well explained by existing models of collective action, nor by political ideology or outgroup hostility. Instead, it is most strongly associated with collective victimhood, as well as age and personality factors.
