For almost a century generations of scholars and thinkers have tried to understand why the Germans sleepwalked into disaster. Future generations will focus on a different case.
A lot of climate mitigation advice ignores a key constraint: will people actually do it? In our new paper, we use a “personalised scenario testing” tool and ask people to build a plan to cut their own emissions by 30% (Swiss sample, n=2,793).
Thrilled that my paper (w/@sarahobolt.bsky.social,@catherinedevries.bsky.social,@simonecremaschi.bsky.social) was accepted at the American Political Science Review!
We find that declining public services fuel support for the populist right — and show why the right benefits more than other parties 🧵
This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Eurobarometer survey, I humbly suggest this t-shirt as commemorative merch.

Climate politics sounds increasingly polarised. But in Europe, support for climate isn’t driven by die-hard supporters or opponents. It tends to be shaped by a large “conditional middle” (33%).

🚨 Job alert! 🚨
We’re #hiring a #PhD candidate at NIDI (The Hague).
Together with @frankvantubergen.bsky.social and @glorenz.bsky.social, I will supervise a project on the connection of different dimensions of social cohesion in ethnically diverse schools.
Deadline 1 April 2026.
More information:
📢 Study out in Research & Politics!
We (@lukasbirkenmai1.bsky.social @wurthmann.bsky.social @msaeltzer.bsky.social) find that directly elected MPs talk more about local & deprived places than list MPs on social media.

Some Highlights [1/3]
Harmonised datasets focusing on climate change, digitalisation, equality, health and resilience are now available.
They include #data from five social #surveys that have been harmonised to make them as comparable as possible, even if the question text and response scales differed.
For a change, something we made ourselves: Together with my colleagues Tobias Roth, Andreas Horr, and @nataliebackes.bsky.social, we examined ethnic rent penalties. Do migrants pay higher rents for comparable housing than natives with similar characteristics? direct.mit.edu/euso/article...

Allen Leuten, die vor zwanzig Jahren Geld gesetzt haben auf "2027 ist der Iran eine Demokratie und die USA eine religiös-faschistische Diktatur" möchte ich an dieser Stelle herzliche Bewunderung aussprechen.
@heikekluever.bsky.social in der heutigen SZ zur Brandmauer. Die Empirie spricht eine klare Sprache: Wenn die extreme Rechte mitregiert, wird sie größer und entzaubert sich nicht. Alles andere ist Wunschdenken und gefährliche politische Folklore.
