How do different climate camps persuade their audiences when you stop forcing the data into predefined categories? Our paper, Reading the Climate Room, just published in Nature Scientific Reports, reveals stark differences in how advocates and skeptics communicate. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A clear link emerged between how much people used different sources of information and belief in conspiracy theories. The more people trust journalistic media (even if they don't use it), the less likely they were to believe in conspiracy theories. The reverse was found for non-journalistic media.

While most of the Irish public do not believe six prominent conspiracy theories, the level of support for some of these might raise a few eyebrows. FuJo members @robraonain.bsky.social and Rabhya Mehrotra report data trends from 2024-Election in @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

How many people in Ireland believe in conspiracy theories? Piece by Dr Robert Brennan @robraonain.bsky.social and Rabhya Mehrotra @fujomedia.bsky.social for @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social. Read here: launch.dcu.ie/45iz4DZ #RTEBrainstorm
