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.
On the BOE blog, they also mention a temp rising of 18° by 2026, that’s surprising…
Which bit? I found nothing saying 18c by 2026 on the boe page. 1.6c by 2026 is there. And so is a sentence saying that altogether after the boe there could be as much as 18c rise in temp.
At the end of the article, above the conclusion. Search 18. And there’s a link to another page.
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.
and thank you for being reasonable. BOE could happen, Al Gore mentioned it in his first movie, but it’s unlikely to happen in this century. Sadly it will happen because we aren’t slowing down enough…
