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.

    Eh I’m still on team BOE is going to be soon. You do you though.

    I only linked that page as it was a good explanation of the BOE, before today I hadn’t looked at the rest of the blog.

    And tbh, panicking about climate collapse, collecting and organising huge amounts of data on it, and then getting blasè about the upcoming genocide, is a very justifiable reaction. So while I’m no longer going to be linking that page on the BOE (as I haven’t got the mental engery to fact check the rest of the blog), I’m not holding it against the author (provided they’re not shilling disinformation propaganda that is).
