Campbell-Arvai, Victoria; et al. (2017): The influence of learning about carbon dioxide removal (CDR) on support for mitigation policies

Campbell-Arvai, Victoria; Hart, P. Sol; Raimi, Kaitlin T.; Wolske, Kimberly S. (2017): The influence of learning about carbon dioxide removal (CDR) on support for mitigation policies. In Climatic Change 143 (3-4), pp.[nbsp]321–336. DOI: 10.1007/s10584-017-2005-1.

„Using an online survey of US adults (N[nbsp]=[nbsp]984), we tested these competing hypotheses by exposing participants to information about different forms of CDR. We find that learning about certain CDR strategies indirectly reduces support for mitigation policies by reducing the perceived threat of climate change. This was found to be true for participants who read about CDR in general (without mention of specific strategies), bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or direct air capture.“
