“…However, a metaanalysis by Hornsey et al (2016) showed that this tendency is more typical for research done in the United States, while non-U.S. studies report a stronger relationship between subjective knowledge and climate change acceptance. Moreover, a recent multilevel analysis of climate change risk assessment in 28 European countries found scientific literacy to be an important factor in shaping public opinion and concerns about the topic (Echavarren, Balžekien, & Telešien, 2019). Thus, in the context of the given sample, lower scientific literacy seems to be a crucial predictor of the general susceptibility to pseudoscientific claims, regardless of their content.…”

Summary The aim of the current study was to examine the antecedents of susceptibility to pseudoscientific information. Participants were asked to assess their perceived probability of and familiarity with statements containing popular science misconceptions and pseudoscientific claims, which were fabricated for the study. Measures of scientific literacy, moral inclinations, need for closure, and a set of additional variables were collected. Analysis of the results showed that susceptibility to known pseudoscientific theories predicted falling for novel unwarranted claims. Scientific literacy strongly predicted lower pseudoscience susceptibility of all types. Finally, participants' moral inclinations were found to be a strong predictor of different types of pseudoscientific statements.

“…First, the main influencing factors of climate change risk response perception in northern Shaanxi [47] are climate change reason perception and climate change issues concern degree. Second, [50]. Therefore, the paths that affect the perception of climate change risk in southern Shaanxi are diverse.…”

The public's awareness of climate change risks is the basis for their choice of adaptation action. A good understanding of the key factors that affect the public's perception of climate change risk is critical to climate change risk management. In this paper, a path model was constructed to analyze the path of climate change risk response perception in northern Shaanxi based on 1660 public survey data in northern Shaanxi, which was compared with that of southern Shaanxi. The results showed that (1) there are three causal paths in northern Shaanxi, that is, the public's awareness of climate change issues, awareness of ecological stability, and awareness of climate change causes, to affect response status; there are nine causal paths in southern Shaanxi. (2) There are four related routes in northern Shaanxi and 19 in southern Shaanxi. In short, compared with southern Shaanxi, there are fewer perception paths and simpler models for climate change risk response in northern Shaanxi. (3) The degree of concern for climate change issues and the perception of the causes of climate change influence the establishment of the causal path of climate change risk perception in northern Shaanxi. The major factors that influence climate change risk response perception in southern Shaanxi are climate change risk reason perception, industrial structure adjustment perception, and energy conservation, and emission reduction perception. (4) The response perception path in northern Shaanxi is simpler than that in southern Shaanxi, and there are fewer causal and related paths that impact climate change risk response perception. (5) Finally, through the comparative analysis of the path of climate change risk response perception in northern Shaanxi and southern Shaanxi, this paper provides a reference for coping with climate change risks in northern and southern Shaanxi.

“…The mean sea-level rise will also have serious consequences for the European coast, particularly in the Netherlands, where more than 50% of the country's territory has an altitude of less than 5 metres. In contrast, in other states such as Portugal, Spain or Turkey this percentage is between 0.5% and 1.5% (Bozhinova et al, 2014;Echavarren et al, 2019). These figures should obviously not be neglected since most of the population lives near the coast.…”

Territorial impacts of sea-level rise in marsh environments. The case of the Bay of Cádiz, Spain

How can sea-level rise affect territory? Has territorial planning adjusted to this new situation? This paper analyses the possible ramifications of changes in tidal recurrence over the course of this century in a potentially vulnerable marsh environment, such as the Bay of Cádiz, in southern Spain, where sea-level rise is already a fact. For that purpose, the regionalisation criterion is used as a basis for adjusting the magnitude of global problems to subregional scale. Geographic information systems are applied to portray the forecasted territorial changes according to the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the years 2050 and 2100. Projections of sea-level rise show that the tide is travelling farther inland, not just invading unoccupied areas of marshes and beaches but also reaching urban and productive areas. Estimates indicate that the floodable area could expand by more than 20% in 2050, with a further 2,000 ha of flooded areas added in 2100 for either of the two scenarios used. The occurrence of these changes, regardless of the model used, would therefore entail an alteration of the environmental, social, cultural and economic values and elements of the Bay of Cádiz, with the Natural Park being the most affected area. In response to these consequences, the need to apply the resulting projections to other variables is insisted on, with a view to introducing territorial management tailored to this new and already present reality. Application of the regionalisation criterion to study repercussions of the climate crisis in the Bay of Cádiz could serve as a precedent for the development of adaptation strategies in other marsh environments at subregional or local level.
