Climate politics sounds increasingly polarised. But in Europe, support for climate isnโ€™t driven by die-hard supporters or opponents. It tends to be shaped by a large โ€œconditional middleโ€ (33%).

First versions of harmonised data now available | Infra4NextGen As part of the Infra4NextGen project, harmonised datasets for each of the five themes have been published for the first time on the NextGen Harmonised Data Gateway.

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.

@heikekluever.bsky.social in der heutigen SZ zur Brandmauer. Die Empirie spricht eine klare Sprache: Wenn die extreme Rechte mitregiert, wird sie grรถรŸer und entzaubert sich nicht. Alles andere ist Wunschdenken und gefรคhrliche politische Folklore.

Uff, was fรผr ein manipulatives Framing. Die Kritik richtete sich gegen die Pauschalisierung in der Aussage von Merz, nicht gegen Kritik an konkreten Problemen. Kein Student im BA wรผrde mit so einer verkรผrzen Interpretation durchkommen. Das kรถnnt ihr besser @zdfheute.de.web.brid.gy

EU parliament votes to ban meat names for plant-based foods Pressure to ban meat labels for plant-based products comes from Europe's livestock farmers.

The @europarl.europa.eu just made a fool of itself with this ban. Is there evidence that consumers think a "veggie burger" contains meat? Utterly ridiculous, and just (further) undermines the credibility of the institution (at the behest of the EPP).

I am not familiar with the literature on the Volkskรถrper idea, but I would guess it's simply because they are in awe of their higher level organism. For those who are susceptible it is an elevation and not a reduction of status/meaning, especially in the presence of outgroups.
