🧠 People’s attitudes towards science matter (e.g. trust in scientists, beliefs about science), but they don’t change how uncertainty messages influence them.
Bottom line: Not all uncertainties are perceived equally & how we phrase them can shape public responses to environmental & health issues.

⚠️ Communicating that scientists don’t agree (consensus uncertainty) can lower people’s perception of risk and, via reduced credibility, may even reduce support for related policies.
💡 But communicating that we still have knowledge gaps (deficient uncertainty) doesn’t create the same effects.
