We also present two additional reasons why a moratorium is undesirable: 1) It deprives actors such as NGOs and social movements of knowledge that can aid the development of bottom-up approaches. 7/9

Another great thing about traveling by train? You get to explore beautiful places along the way. The California Zephyr departs every 24h making it easy to include stops. We got off the train at Granby, CO, and went for a hike in the Rocky Mountains 🍂🏞️

2) Our previous research has shown that the public wishes for scientists working on climate change to be more engaged. A moratorium could therefore harm public trust in science. 8/9

@Amtrak We enjoyed these breathtaking views of Utah in the observation deck, while playing cards and having drinks with other passengers. The vibe on the train is very social, got to talk to lots of lovely people. The main reason people seem to choose the train: convenience and scenery.

The views in Colorado and Utah are absolutely amazing! Definitely the most scenic train ride I've ever taken. Rivers, mountains, canyons: this route has it all. @Amtrak conductors take on the role of tourist guides and share insights about the surrounding landscapes.

Decided to book a roomette for the overnight ride, which was very comfortable traveling solo and also included several meals. Only downside was lacking WI-FI. Saw a beautiful sunset in the DC area and woke up to the sun rising in Georgia after about 9 hours of sleep ☀️ @Amtrak

The results of our study and those of others point towards a perception-engagement gap. Namely, that scientists don’t engage as much as they perceive they should because they are afraid to lose credibility. 9/

Im März 2021 haben wir SchweizerInnen befragt, wie sehr sie eine Erhöhung der CO2-Abgabe auf Heizöl und eine Flugsteuer befürworten. Fazit: 20-29 jährige befürworten diese Massnahmen stärker als Ältere und die Zustimmung nimmt bei 30-39 jährigen ab. #CO2Gesetz
