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.

      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.

          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.

              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).
