Actually the predictions of the participants is orthogonal to the purpose of the study. The study was meant to determine how political labels affect cooperation and understanding. Climate change was only one of many issues that could have been used for this. I do however take issue with headlines that try to draw conclusions from a study other than “this study happened and this was the result.”
