This study aims to expand the understanding of public acceptance of carbon taxes by exploring the role of habits. Habits play a pivotal role in guiding our behaviors and reasoning and can even influence our self perception and identity but remain an underexplored variable in relation to public policy acceptance. We employed a large scale (N > 5200) national survey to measure public acceptance of higher carbon taxation in Sweden, also capturing car driving habits, car usage, and other relevant variables. The findings show that habit strength is negatively correlated with policy acceptance, regardless of self reported driving distance, while also appearing to moderate the relationship between policy acceptance and environmental concern and political leaning, variables previously shown to be of relevance. The study suggests that the influence of habits needs to be recognized to better understand the formation of climate policy acceptance, and exploring this perspective paves the way for future research.

This is what forming your entire personality around hating bike lanes looks like.

This dude actually wrote a Christmas-themed poem praising "Saint" Doug Ford for his plans to destroy bike lanes.

Significant injuries from "e-scooter use"??

Two pedestrians this week were hospitalised by a pickup truck driver in Toronto during their "sidewalk use".
