Study links tech optimism among scientists to less climate activism

A survey of more than 9,000 scientists across 115 countries has found that researchers who believe technology will largely solve the problems caused by the climate crisis are less likely to engage in civic action on the issue. The findings suggest that faith in technological fixes may reduce willingness among scientists to take part in activism, lobbying, or public advocacy on climate change.

Why now: New study findings on the relationship between technological optimism and climate activism among scientists are being shared and discussed.
