“…The more individuals acknowledge and worry about the possible adverse consequences of a global problem, the more likely they have strong personal norms. Individuals with strong altruistic and biospheric values are more attuned to negative consequences for others, society and the environment, and are therefore more likely to acknowledge and worry about the negative consequences of a global problem 9,22 . Thus, awareness of consequences links values to personal norms.…”

“…One way to achieve this is by quantifying the crises with metrics that are more meaningful to people (for example, lives threatened, endangered species or natural areas lost) 38 , instead of by the more abstract or physical metrics often employed (for example, CO 2 emissions and temperature increase). Such information likely enhances individuals to acknowledge the consequences and worry about them, as individuals become more aware that a crisis impacts things or persons they personally value 22 . For instance, worries about plastics may increase when people know how plastics affect local ecosystems, the food they consume, and their own and others' health and animals they care about.…”

“…Meaning, leaders' climate communications may be most effective among people who already support them and are therefore receptive to the leaders' positions and messaging. One explanation for this may come from social identity theory, from which one could infer that people are more likely to align their beliefs with a leader with whom they strongly identify and which they support (Bouman and Steg 2019;Fielding and Hornsey 2016;Hahnel and Brosch 2016;Hogg et al 2012). In the context of climate-skeptical political leaders, this would mean the more people identify with and support an openly climate-skeptical leader, the weaker their personal climate beliefs are likely to be.…”

“…This is important to understand, because concern about climate change is in at least two ways strongly related to our ability to successfully combat the problem. First, people who are more concerned about climate change are more likely to support mitigation policies (Bouman et al, 2020;Hagen et al, 2016;Lorenzoni & Pidgeon, 2006). Second, concerned individuals are more likely to show personal climate mitigation behaviours (Bouman et al, 2020;Capstick et al, 2015;Hagen et al, 2016).…”
