很少有科学趋势能像其政治化那样引起如此多的讨论。当行为者强调科学固有的不确定性以对科学共识的存在表示怀疑时，就会发生这种情况。在本文中，我们提供了一个框架，该框架可以预测何时可以使用通信来抵制针对新型能源技术的政治化努力。然后，我们提供来自全国代表性调查实验的证据，以证明驳回未来政治化的警告和忽视过去主张的纠正如何抵消政治化的影响。研究结果为政治化时代的科学传播提供了新颖的见解，并为未来的工作提供了蓝图。
Few trends in science have generated as much discussion as its politicization. This occurs when an actor emphasizes the inherent uncertainty of science to cast doubt on the existence of scientific consensus. In this article, we offer a framework that generates predictions about when communications can be used to counteract politicization efforts aimed at novel energy technologies. We then present evidence from nationally representative survey experiments to demonstrate how warnings to dismiss future politicization and corrections to ignore past claims can counteract politicization's effects. The results provide novel insights about science communication in a politicized era and offer a blueprint on which future work can build.
