A collective-risk dilemma experiment with members of the public in Barcelona has shown that people are more or less likely to contribute money to fighting climate change depending on their how wealthy they are. And the results indicate that participants with fewer resources were prepared to contribute significantly more to the public good than wealthier people, sometimes up to twice as much.
These are the principal findings of a study by researchers who measured how a group of individuals acted in the face of a common threat.
To do so they designed a "lab-in-the-field" experiment involving more than 320 individuals divided into 54 groups of 6 people. The experiment was conducted as follows. A total of 240 euros was given to each group of individuals. Each member of the group was given a specific amount of money. In half of the groups the 240 euros were divided evenly into 40 euros for each member. In the other half, the money was distributed unevenly in quantities from 20 to 60 euros. Over the course of ten rounds, each person then had to contribute to a common fund in order to reach a specific goal, namely 120 euros to be used in an activity against climate change, in this case planting trees in Collserola. The participants were allowed to keep any money that was left over. At the start of the experiment, each participant knew how much money the other had and at the end of each round they could see how much money each person had contributed.
In this way, the researchers were able to test the economic effort that each individual was prepared to make for a common benefit, in this instance the fight against climate change.

Bingo!
Smart people do noting in the struggle against climate change. Smart people know it’s a scheme and a scam.
I was talking to a guy today and he blamed the cool weather forecast this weekend on climate change.
I told him that the sun was going into a period of solar minimum and limited sunspot activity. It has everything to do with natural cycles and nothing to do with man.
I then told him that my son used to work on a solar observatory mission at NASA and for about two years had the best view of the sun of anyone on earth. He confirmed solar minimum.
Left him with plenty to think about.
Seeking power, they instill fear, using LIES!
First generation wealthy people are smarter than the average climate change nut. They are too busy working. They are not paying attention to this crap.
Maybe wealthier people are just smarter.
Perfect example of this Al Gore. Never misses a chance to create more carbon emissions by flying to world climate meetings, not to mention his high mansion.
Rich people don’t get rich by being stupid and falling for hoaxes.
GS has a revolving door between their firm and powerful positions of US government.
Seems GS is just a front for the Rothschild banking syndicate.
Dollars to donuts GS is going to ran this down our collective throats, eventually!
“Goldman Sachs acknowledges the scientific consensus, led by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that climate change is a reality and that human activities are responsible for increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere.”
Struggle? What and where is this struggle referred to in the headline?
Senseless lies from government connected criminals.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
