When climate protesters use disruptive tactics, does it matter who is disrupted?
I’m excited to share my second lead-author publication, “Disrupting the ‘Wrong’ Target?”, now published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology.

So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves
Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage

Over the past few years, particularly since 2017's worldwide March for Science, many scientists advocate for science and in particular for climate and environmental issues. This has generated a lot of research which we reviewed in our @plosclimate.org paper. Details below #Science #Climate #Activism

Support for moderate climate activists' benefits from the rise of radicals as moderates are perceived reasonable in comparison — but only when they clearly distance themselves. These 'radical flank effects' are attenuated if moderates endorse radicals.
