Podcast: Starke Fakten, schwache Politik - Wie kann Klimaforschung überzeugen? Haben Forschende nicht klar genug gewarnt? Hat wissenschaftliche Vernunft gegen Lobbygruppen keine Chance? Oder haben Forschende zu viel Schreckensszenarien entworfen anstatt auf positive Nebeneffekte...

www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:... Ein Podcast mit weitem Panorama dazu, warum die Politik doch immer was anderes beschließt als die Klimawissenschaft und die VWL empfehlen würden. Ich darf auch ein bisschen was dazu sagen @pik-potsdam.bsky.social @tuberlin.bsky.social

Starting in January 2026, PIK scientist @falkoueckerdt.bsky.social will join the newly established @ituaustria.bsky.social IT:U in Linz, Austria, as Founding Professor for Energy Transition and Climate Futures - congrats 👏 💐

Klingbeil: Steuererhöhungen statt Einziehung krimineller Vermögen Die Bundesregierung muss entscheiden, ob sie Steuererhöhungen vorschlägt oder kriminelle Gelder effektiver einzieht. Experten fordern ein Umdenken, um das Vertrauen in den Rechtsstaat zu stärken.

Genau, was Zollfahnder Buckenhofer sagt: Wer ein rätselhaftes Vermögen nicht erklären kann, sollte es nicht haben…

"New civil rights violations will be imagined, new vistas of anti-Americanism on campus will be discovered, and the attacks will continue." My colleague Suresh Naidu nails it.

The deal might as well say, "souls will be searched."

In @politischemeinung.bsky.social argumentieren wir: Das ist irreführend. Aus mindestens 3 Gründen führt an einem ehrgeizigen Klimakurs kein Weg vorbei.

Or the national focus of media is restricting the options discussed by societies. Perhaps also vested interests explain the lack of policy supply if there is policy demand. In any case, the real reason why we see not more global climate action is not the view of the people. (6/6)

All methods suggest that the support is either completely sincere, or the share of insincere answers is limited. Perhaps, then, politicians who wish to advance climate action underestimate the support in the population.

We found that surprising and hence used several methods to assess the sincerity of the support: a list experiment, a real-stake petition, conjoint analyses and an exercise involving the prioritization of policies.

Why do we not see more global climate change mitigation policy then? We hypothesized “pluralistic ignorance” (that is people underestimate that other people also like policies) – but only found a bit of that in Europe and essentially none of it in the US.

We document majority support of Global North populations for global emissions trading with equal-per-capita refund.

That’s right: Even if the Global North populations would pay and the Global South would benefit, Global North citizens still strongly support it. @tuberlin.bsky.social ky.social
