Some interesting insights into why people do or don't support climate change initiatives.

For example: "We found that people consistently underestimate how much others support climate action. This phenomenon is known as 'pluralistic ignorance'. On average, respondents underestimated support by 18%, and overestimated opposition by 16%. This creates a kind of shared illusion that climate policies are less popular than they actually are."

Been trying to catch some naked eye daylight planets the past couple of weeks. So far: Venus 1 hr before sunset; Jupiter 10 mins before sunset. Mars just at sunset (v. difficult). Mercury wasn't visible tonight, even with binoculars, until about 40 mins after sunset, but I did catch it for maybe 3-4 minutes before it set behind the trees.
