We use data from the American National Election Study and an original survey to show hostile sexism is associated with a combination of misinformation and overconfidence. In turn, sexism and this meta-ignorance are correlated with opposition to climate policy action. We discuss the implications for support for decarbonization policies and demand-side mitigative actions.
