Stopping climate change is a political problem. While we have the technological tools available to mitigate climate change, we lack the political will to do so. This is, in part, because climate change poses a social dilemma: while we are all better off if we successfully mitigate climate change, each actor has an incentive to free ride off the cooperative behaviors of others.In my first two dissertation chapters, I use experimental economic methods to understand the conditions that facilitate cooperation in social dilemmas. In my first chapter, I find that observing other's cooperative intentions facilitates future cooperation, rather than a desire to maintain an equitable distribution of resources. In my second chapter, I study the conditions under which punishment increases cooperation in social dilemmas. Many researchers believe that there is a stable minority of people who are "antisocial punishers," that is, people who, surprisingly, are willing to punish cooperators and undermine cooperation. Using open science data from past experiments, I find instead that antisocial punishers do not exist as past research has typically conceptualized them and-importantly-to the extent they exist, they actually cause more cooperation.In my final two dissertation chapters, I focus specifically on cooperation and climate change. In my third chapter, I study how natural disasters change climate change attitudes. I leverage Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment and find that while exposure to this climate change related disaster increased belief in climate change, it undermined support for an important mitigation technology: nuclear power. Using additional experimental evidence, I show this is, in part, because people wrongly believe nuclear power causes climate change.In my final dissertation chapter, I argue activists might identify and address different issues than the constituents they represent. I illustrate this with the case of environmentalism, where the principals are those who support climate change mitigation and the agents are environmentalists. I find that while environmentalists are politically active on behalf of their principals, they prioritize environmental conservation over climate change mitigation in a way that is not consistent with the desires of their principals.
