New study out in @sfjournal.bsky.social. We find Christian nationalism is among the leading predictors of multiple measures of racial solidarity, but ONLY FOR WHITES.

Countering #misinformation isn’t just about the facts—it’s about how those facts spread through social networks and communities. #Science being right isn’t enough; it must be accepted within social circles to make an impact. https://buff.ly/4hFLwB1 By Anne Toomey @paceuniversity.bsky.social

A constant reminder that even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as they did during the pandemic lockdown from now to 2030, we still wouldn't meet our emission target to keep global warming below 1.5°C.
