‘Bana won’ perception makes it difficult to fight global climate

Researchers say that people believe that climate change affects others than themselves, a ‘psychological bias, which makes it difficult to fight global warming. The researchers from Gothenburg University in Sweden analyzed 83 studies, covering more than 70 thousand people in 17 countries where participants from the US, Asia and Europe were located. According to the research published in the British Nature Sustainability magazine, the results of the climate crisis are perceived systematically, even if the climate is taken seriously.

The European global average heats two times quickly

] Asseborg University’s analysis reveals the risk of 65 percent of participants’ climate change compared to others. According to scientists, this perception can weaken individuals’ desire to fight with increased temperatures. The researchers emphasize that the group of comparisons in the thought of this ‘No’ played a decisive role. The maximum risk perception is indicated that people are crossed with others as ‘genelly’ that their citizens, all humanity or climate risk is lower than countries. This effect was observed in Europe. Yet Europe quickly bites about two times of the global average. Last year, this situation led to a short-term economic loss of at least 126 billion euros by increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and caused thousands of people to death.

]In 81 of the 83 studies included in the analysis, participants evaluate their own risk in terms of extreme weather events and general climate risks. Pär Bjälkerbring, a senior lecturer from the Department of Psychology of Gothenburg University, “We did not see this effect only in two studies; these were researched directly with farmers who live climate change in China and South Korea. This also shows that direct experience reduces this effect.

Our perception on the risks of hope is ‘limited and incorrect’
According to the researchers, the findings reveal that our perception of climate risks is ‘limited and faulty’, which may delay the necessary climate steps. Magnus Bergquist, one of the other psychology experts from Gothenburg University, says: “People acknowledge real risks of climate change, even if these risks are mainly affected by others. This psychological bias can slow down climate harmony and reduction efforts with the worst probability. "
