@ryankatzrosene This is very much in line with the findings of John Sterman's work at MIT. He suggests it's to do with a failure to conceptualise stocks and flows accurately and suggests focussed training on systems dynamics is required... https://t.co/
@theowlinthewood Should. But most people don't understand stocks and flows (system dynamics) and so aren't going to grasp this point. The classic paper: https://t.co/9ipF2RTx2u. 1/

@DanielleFong It is, but the fundamental problem of the lag between commitment to damage and the damage itself remains. Most people don't understand stocks and flows well enough to get past that easily. ICYMI see e.g. https://t.co/ARU98c9wGE.

@MarkBoslough True, but IMO that in turn is underlain by https://t.co/9ipF2RTx2u.
@TimOsbornClim @Peters_Glen Fits with past studies on this... Understanding public complacency about climate change: adults’ mental models of climate change violate conservation of matter https://t.co/OWfA8ahQ3t
@MichaelEMann @Revkin @deepuncertainty @kevinnotspacey @DKeithClimate Hah! I'll check that strip out. But seriously, as I find myself frequently repeating, there's some science behind that point: https://t.co/9ipF2Sb7U2.
@CubaRaglanGuy @DrKateMarvel Glib but wrong. Note most people have a very poor sense of history, so do we call that a history hum? Politics hum? Doesn't seem useful. When it comes to climate, "hum" doesn't seem to quite encapsulate https://t.co/9ipF2Sb7U
@ReinerGrundmann @AJCorner @Oliver_Geden It's a consequence of a known and unfortunately near-universal cognitive deficiency, as shown by https://t.co/9ipF2Sb7U2. Now, how can you play a constructive role, Reiner?
