Uh no.
There's now international data that shows that the large majority of people attribute the extreme events of this summer to climate change and that is causing increased worry, particularly in areas that have been most strongly hit, like France and Canada, for example.
Yeah, okay.
yes they do.
So we've got international data.
We don't yet have data for Ireland, but we've got a lot of international data.
Roughly speaking, two thirds to three quarters of the population are linking these extreme events to climate change and basically saying it's caused by climate change.
In my view, that does make you wonder a little bit what the other third and other quarter think is going on.
Um you know, there's a degree of what we're
As a behavioural scientist, I think the answer to that is a combination of denial and motivated reasoning, where they're basically doing everything they can not to face up to reality.
They're bargaining with it in some ways.
Exactly, internally, yes, exactly, to tr to try to avoid it.
We can also see that that this is also linked to increases in worry.
So people are um increasingly concerned about climate change.
But that's starting from a very high base.
I mean internationally about three quarters of the world's population are either very worried or worried about climate change and those figures are arguably even slightly higher in Ireland.
So in terms of attitudes, there is a lot of worry.
There is recognition that this extreme summer is a big problem and it's telling us that climate change is hitting and the worry is climbing further.
The big question is: does that turn into anything more than worry and more than attitudes?
Behavior.
