Here is an exciting co-produced manifesto for an effective and fair climate policy in Sweden.
I hope this product can stimulate improved decision-making in Sweden, and inspire similar research-civil society collaborations in other countries.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

What motivates people to engage in climate advocacy?
In a new PNAS Nexus megastudy [https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgaf400] led by @dgoldwert.bsky.social we tested 17 theoretical interventions on a large US sample (N=31,324) to increase public, political, and financial climate advocacy.

I've written an end of year substack post about tracking Trump, where we are ending the year and some implications for Europe and for me personally...

Very interesting. Thanks!
Hopp är ett verb även i min bok. Ett kollektivt sådant. Tror inte all vänsterteori är så individualistisk i den meningen heller, även om den kan läsas så. Men emotioner är, tänker sociologen, alltid sociala.
...and of course, given that the EGD is now becoming increasingly diluted, these limitations are bound to become more prominent.
New article where we have reviewed policy analyses of the European Green Deal. The discourse of the EGD is more transformative than other climate policies, but its transformative potential is limited by its ecomodernist and eurocentric assumptions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
I participated in this EC project doing case studies in Sweden and Spain on the "twin transition", i.e., green and digital. The report is now published. We found both potential synergies and problems (as expected?). publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/h...
The Trump Action Tracker has an update!
Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions.

Agreed! That is an excellent article in @psychmag.bsky.social. For those that missed it - www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...
Ni som inte redan läser Carl Heaths kommentarer om utvecklingen i USA: Gör det.
“We are facing a planetary emergency. The breach of the Ocean Acidification boundary is a stark scientific warning and a moral call to action. Without healthy oceans, peace, prosperity & stability are at risk everywhere. We must act now...to safeguard this life-support system for future generations"
New paper out on how we can have resonant conversations with utopian ideas about the future in times of climate crisis, and how this can spur “imaginaction” and futuring practices. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Samuel L. Jackson promotes wind energy - didn't imagine to spread commercials here, but this one's just too good not to! Any combo of Pulp Fiction references and green transition will make me smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uEp...
Since I’m still in vacation mood, I’ll share the result of this summer’s music project: the death metal album “Morphocide” - dealing with the turn toward fascism in the US, climate, Gaza, and more. Give it a spin! thebreachingexperiment.bandcamp.com/album/morpho...
Love this comic, but the research on resistance actually finds that anger fuels resistance. I would shift the order so it's consistent with the research findings:
Denial-> Depression-> Anger->RESISTANCE!
”Om EPA:s förslag går igenom vill myndigheten därefter slopa utsläppsrestriktionerna för den amerikanska fordonsflottan.” Läs @simoncampanello.bsky.social
R.I.P. Ozzy. What an ending of a career and a life. Thanks for everything.
Ok, en grundläggande sak jag ännu inte greppar efter att ha spelat mestadels hårdrock på stränginstrument i trettio år: vad är det för skillnad på B och H? Jag och många med mig lever som om H inte finns.
Some very good news for academics chasing permissions & high res images.
Despair? There's no time you have work to do! As for me I'm going to lie down in this puddle and be miserable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
"With the passage of Trump's death bill, we face the prospect of many great harms, including an archipelago of concentration camps across the United States."

Climate researchers face an antagonistic climate of denial, scepticism, and distrust. This impacts their communication and research negatively.
Read further in a new study published in @ambio-journal.bsky.social by Laila Mendy and me.
Our findings are concerning.

Det var en makalöst bra konsert! Synd att jag missade att hitta dig och säga hej.
Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.
Very good read, specifically on the different approaches toward doomerism.
Försöker bli klok på denna riktning. Det låter som lika delar Keynes och nyliberal avreglering? Ibland låter det som socialdemokrati med fokuset på offentliga investeringar, ibland som motsatsen?
In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why
The public discourse is not keeping up.
Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵
