Dot Earth Blog: Energy Agreement Hidden by Climate Disputes

This Twitter item leads to a Grist/Climate Desk piece on ?Political ideology affects energy-efficiency attitudes and choices,? a fascinating new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that, in part using light bulb choices, shows how polarization over the merits of cutting greenhouse gas emissions appears to torque the behavior of conservatives away from commonsense energy choices.

As I mentioned on Twitter, a related pattern was evident in the 2009 survey of attitudes on energy and climate undertaken by the ?Six Americas? project of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication. Click through the three slides here to see what I mean.
