It's not more upsetting than the trade war, but it was more surprising

To test this, we ran a survey experiment on a nationally representative sample of 6,000 people in the U.S.

We elicited ethical beliefs, provided info about either a new conventional, cultured or veg substitute, showed a video clip about factory farming, & re-elicited beliefs. 6/

I think this probably plays some role. Might also be that residents are more supportive of speed cameras than voters and especially moreso than those who vote in local elections.

Ontario's grid is pretty clean. It would be more meaningful if you lived in Alberta. Still helpful though and like you said, pretty smart choice except for the rare load where you're worried about pests.

Would like to see numbers for this. I've always thought that setting your washing machine to cold is pretty good bang for your buck considering it's zero effort. But it does depend on where your energy comes from.

Any thoughts on whether this will create conflicts with Denmark's progress on farmed animal welfare (e.g. more incentive to increase stocking rates etc.)? agricultureandfood.dk/danish-agric...

Alright I may give it a try!

Does it add a lot of value over an old-fashioned game of Mafia?

We hope that this study will give climate researchers a better understanding of the range of beliefs held by the greater community and allow for more informed discussion about where our climate is headed.

We also asked these climate experts to estimate the beliefs of their peers. There were strong correlations on all questions, suggesting that participants with very high or low estimates perceive their own beliefs as closer to the community average than they actually are.

We expected that researchers who worked on solutions (WG3) might be more optimistic than those working on adaptation (WG2), but found limited support for this hypothesis (differences were only significant between WG2 and WG3 for estimates of the likelihood of reaching 3°C)

Instead, the median estimate of maximum warming by 2100 was 2.7°C, which is consistent with modeling of the climate response to current national climate policies.
