    The COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis are polarizing people’s opinions worldwide, particularly with regard to restrictive policy measures.

The level of polarization is measured by dispersion and bimodality in the opinions based on the sentiment in Twitter data and the…

There is a large body of empirical research and theoretical models dealing with the explanation of environmental behavior, but these explanations have always been considered in the context of a pandemic-free society. The aim of this research note is therefore to consider the willin…
