📢📢 To what extent do people around the world trust scientists?🌍. We explored this question in 67 countries with a team of 239 researchers. Find out more about our project:. The preprint of our main study is now available 👇

💡Finding ways to reduce this trust gap is key, as trust in scientists is important for accepting recommendations grounded in scientists’ findings and could help speed up action on climate change. 🌍 6/7.

➡️Lower trust in climate scientists may reflect the successful efforts of the conservative countermovement to sow doubt about the integrity of climate scientists and their conclusions. 5/7.

We investigated the predictors of this trust gap and found that right-leaning and conservative ideologies often predict a stronger negative impact on trust in climate scientists than scientists in general. 4/7

Out of 68 investigated countries, 43 showed lower trust in climate scientists compared to scientists in general, 19 showed no significant difference in trust ratings, and six showed higher trust in climate scientists. 3/7

Over the last decades, climate change countermovements have actively sought to undermine trust in climate scientists and their findings. Yet, little is known about whether trust in climate scientists differs from trust in scientists in general across the world. 2/7.

🚨 New preprint 🚨. Are climate scientists less trusted than scientists in general? 🤔🌍 . Yes, we find evidence of a significant trust gap between climate scientists and scientists in general. 👇🧵
