When the Heat Rises, So Does the Green Vote
A study by Piero Stanig, Raya Muttarak and co-authors, published in PNAS, examines how extreme heat shapes climate attitudes and Green voting across 25 European countries. Exposure to higher temperatures increases climate concern, personal responsibility and support for Green parties, particularly among men and less-educated individuals. Responses vary by region and income, highlighting the importance of tailored climate communication and policies that address economic inequalities.
