Great dissection of where the world stands on climate 10 years after Paris: better than ever; worse than needed. Start here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/... But lemme quibble a bit with the CO₂ₑ emissions pathways painted here. A quick 🧵

"...preregistrations do not tie researchers’ hands, but merely uncover readers’ eyes. Preregistering does not preclude exploration, but it does communicate to readers that it occurred. ..." 1/2

Started a talk this week by asking how many in the audience had read Merchants of Doubt. No one had. So here's lead author Naomi Oreskes summarising the book. One take-away: science and unregulated markets are not compatible because science points out market failures youtu.be/GXRuxuTyrxo?...

⭐ After quite some time in the making, I’m excited to share our new paper!🌿⭐ We examined people's climate-relevant behaviors (driving, air travel, public transport use, and meat consumption) and their perceptions of how feasible it would be to change them (+ expected wellbeing impacts). 🧵(1/4)

November edition of @psychmag.bsky.social highlights the value of all psychology disciplines for fighting the climate and biodiversity crisis. Proudly, @bpsenvpsych.bsky.social members @drsarahpayne.bsky.social & Prof David Canter both contribute to this special issue!

Some key findings: 1️⃣ #Social #media are the most important source of information about science in most countries – but traditional #news media remain relevant, particularly in Northwestern Europe.

This morning, I’m at the CSCW conference in a session on “Activism in a Time if Data.” Most of the papers seem to assume activism for “good,” ending with design recs for supporting activism. As far as I can tell, none of the papers center right wing activism. Seems like we have a massive blind spot.

Today's email to an associate editor, declining to review for a big corporate publisher. This one focuses on Nature Publishing Group's practice of funneling rejected manuscripts to their newer journals with hefty APCs.

“When crops are burned for fuel, new land can be needed to grow new crops for food or fuel. This can lead to indirect land clearance and deforestation. Staggeringly, biofuels globally therefore today emit 16% more CO₂ emissions than the fossil fuels they replace.”

Impact postdoc at the UvA: PhD preferred, good fit for someone who wants to do applied work in actual settings with actual impact werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...

www.reuters.com/business/eu-... This is an absurd, protectionist waste of time. Get on the ball, EU. We have actual problems.

I always admired the field study award spsp.org/membership/a.... Now is a great time for this shared recognition, as our group is prioritizing behavioral traces, field studies, life cycle analysis / material flow analysis, and other ways to stay grounded in real world behavior and impact.

Will I be the first to suggest the carbon offsets worked exactly as planned: they delayed real action for another 25 years

W2 Professorship for Environmental Psychology (Germany) www.psychjob.eu/de/job/w2-pr... Rhineland-Palatinate University of Technology Kaiserslautern-Landau Foreign applicants encouraged. Must be able to teach in German after 3 years, however, I think support is offered to achieve that.

This was a true mess with a ton of AI-generated word salad slop being submitted as preprints. The field owes these moderators a huge thanks for all the work and energy! 🙏👏

My quote of the day At any moment, an old world is passing and a new world is coming into being. We have sharper eyes for the fall than the rise because the old world is the one we know. John Updike

Do I know any experienced wikipedia editors? I'm confused about why a submission is being rejected (without specificity as to what content doesn't meet guidelines).

We're migrating our group's citation management from Paperpile to Zotero. I prefer open-source software that everyone is using, just waited until there was Google Docs integration (yay!). Super useful: Zotero bulk de-duplicator (I donated) github.com/ChenglongMa/...

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

PNAS just asked me to order reprints for our recent commentary. For fun, I thought I'd see how much they cost. 25 prints—of just one page, mind you—646 USD. And then they have the temerity to charge 160 USD for shipping. The for-profit publishers will take all we let them. Choose other journals.

After the Texas floods killed 120+, here's how the Netherlands transformed their 1953 disaster (1,836 dead) into world-class protection. Lessons America can't afford to ignore. #Texasfloods #news

When my mom sent me this audio of a melting glacier I put off listening to it. But, it was engaging and interesting, not just sad. Good cinematography too. Definitely recommend. Made me think. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/o...

In our now published letter in @pnas.org, we raise two wider issues for behavioral science: 1) Intentions are poor predictors of behavior 2) Effects on intentions need not generalize to effects on behavior We join calls for researchers to measure actual behavior: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

"A leading UN expert is calling for criminal penalties against those peddling disinformation about the climate crisis and a total ban on fossil fuel industry lobbying and advertising, as part of a radical shake-up to safeguard human rights and curtail planetary catastrophe."

The thing about interdisciplinary work is everyone gets to misunderstand you from a unique angle

Out in Cognitive Psychology, led by @maxmaier.bsky.social: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... A new lottery task with choices that matter across trials; the risky option has a chance of going extinct, which ends the study. We derive optimal policies and develop a strategy-classification model.

Last year we spent €1.350 burning fossil fuels inside our house for heating water and the living space. With our all-electric heat pump, we no longer need to pay transport or tax or use costs for gas, the pump is more efficient, and next year we expect to pay €650 for hot water and space heating.

I am privileged to announce the publication of the Anti-Autocracy Handbook: sks.to/autocracy 1/12

We are ending the era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe for good! We propose a gradual phase-out of Russian gas and oil imports, to be completed by the end of 2027. This will end energy and economic risks, while ensuring stable, cleaner, and secure energy for all EU countries ↓ europa.eu/!CrrR3m

This is shocking behaviour by Wiley; the stated justification does not stand up. I will not be doing any peer review for Wiley journals in future.
