βLet them eat kale!β: Appeals to class-based resentment in American conservative opposition to climate change solutions
Abstract. How do conservative media commentators provoke public opposition to climate change solutions in the US? We provide evidence that appeals to class
In a new paper, Loredana Loy @loredanaloy.bsky.social and Rachel Wetts @rachelwetts.bsky.social provide evidence that conservative climate media mobilize class-based resentment by linking climate initiatives to elite groups and their practices.
