We also investigated how geographic characteristics — climate change information exposure, GDP per capita, economic reliance on carbon resources (coal, oil, and gas), and education level predict belief system density and inconsistency. The results indicate that exposure to information and GDP per capita are positively associated with density. In other words, belief systems are denser in wealthier areas where people are more exposed to climate change information #climate
“Our results indicate that many among those most likely to suffer from climate change impacts will not be able to get out of harm’s way,” the authors write. This creates a “double penalty,” whereby the people with the least resources to adapt in place also lose access to migration as a viable adaptation strategy as the world warms. https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2025/09/study-finds-extreme-weather-changes-who-migrates-not-just-how-many #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #UpheavalClimate #GlobalBurning #MassExtinction #pollution #environment #climate
