A recent survey by ‘Wissenschaft im Dialog’ shows increasing confidence in climate research among Germans, with 59% now trusting scientific claims about human-induced climate change. Overall, 82% feel informed about scientific advancements, maintaining a steady long-term trust in research. However, skepticism remains among AfD supporters, with only 15% believing in human-caused climate claims. The report also highlights concerns about the influence of politics and business on science, with a call for greater public involvement in deciding research priorities, particularly among lower-educated individuals who seek more input in relevant issues.
