New paper on the Social Impact of #ExtremeWeather🌪️ in @europeansocieties.bsky.social 🙌

It unpacks the link between extreme weather events, climate beliefs, and behaviour. Spoiler alert: belief shifts happen, but actions? 🤔

Bei Lektüre von #Exponentialgesellschaft by @deutschmann.bsky.social
viel gelernt über Ökologie, Wachstum, Stabilisierung. Wichtige Denkanstöße. Vor allem bleibt die Frage: Wie soll ich leben? Welche Kompromisse muss ich und muss die Gesellschaft schließen?

See you in Duisburg #DGS2025 bei AmC3

Do people have less #Kids because of the #ClimateCrisis? 🌍👶

In our preprint, @katyaoivanova.bsky.social and I find that environmentalists are less likely to have kids in their 20s and 30s... But by their early 40s, the gap closes.

Maybe it's rather about #Postponement? 🕰️

*Our new LTN paper out today*

Do 'boundary road' junctions with minor roads get safer when minor roads are filtered (i.e. closed to through-traffic)?

We tested this using police-reported casualty data (2012–24) from 113 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) introduced between 2015–24.

A cyclict comes turns out of a modally-filtered side street in London whilst a black car is driven past on a main road.

New preprint out with @aleksandermadsen.bsky.social, where we show that later-arriving childhood immigrants have lower earnings, are more likely to enter manual occupations, and are less likely to enter analytical and language-intensive jobs and be employed in high-wage firms as adults.
