Correcting climate ‘misperceptions’ may not boost climate action - Carbon Brief
Most people "underestimate" general support for climate change and "overestimate" actual, real-world climate action.

New post! In Nelder Notes #6, I review the backsliding on climate commitments and muse on the state of climate campaigning: https://www.transitiontimes.net/nn-6-backsliding-on-climate/

NN#6: Backsliding on Climate
Much of the world is backsliding on their climate commitments just when we need them to be increasing their ambition, but taking action when it’s difficult is the name of the game.

This is a good analysis of class, even if it doesn't really answer the question it sets.

Airborne desert dust may warm climate far more than expected, new analysis shows
Atmospheric dust plays a dual role in Earth's climate: it reflects some sunlight back into space while also absorbing and retaining the planet's heat like an insulating blanket. But while dust likely cools the planet overall, that's not the whole story. New UCLA research shows that the heat-trapping effect of airborne desert dust in the atmosphere is about twice as big as previously believed.
