Ich freue mich sehr, nächsten Donnerstag in Mainz sein zu dürfen! Im Innenpolitik- und Politische Soziologie-Kolloquium werde ich unser Paper (@moretsof.bsky.social & @lucasschwarz.bsky.social) zum Einfluss von Wetterextremen auf die Social-Media-Kommunikation von Kandidierenden vorstellen. 🗨️👩‍💻

🧩 While the effects are small, they are meaningful, illustrating that our experiences with climate change can influence voting decisions. You can find the full article, including detailed supplementary material, here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... (5/5)

➡️ Temperature anomalies increase the likelihood of voting for the Greens
➡️ Positive temperature anomalies have stronger effects (4/5)

❓Do local temperature anomalies influence voting for Germany’s Alliance 90/The Greens? To study this question, I link panel data from over 21,200 GLES respondents (2017–2021) with temperature data from more than 465 DWD stations (2017–2021). (3/5)

🌡️🌧️ Deadly floods, scorching heatwaves, severe storms: weather and climate extremes have become part of our daily lives. Meanwhile, Green parties have emerged as important political actors across many Western European countries. My research connects these developments by asking: (2/5)
