"Societies increasingly rely on scientists to guide decisions in times of
uncertainty, from pandemic outbreaks to the rise of artificial intelligence.
Addressing climate change is no different. For governments wanting to introduce
ambitious climate policies, public trust in climate scientists is pivotal,
because it can determine whether voters support or resist those efforts.
So do people trust climate scientists, and what affects levels of trust? Our
new study shows climate scientists are less trusted than other types of
scientists globally. But there are profound variations in this trust gap
between countries, and within them.
Finding ways to increase trust in climate scientists is crucial if the world is
to implement effective policies to avert dangerous global warming."
