Source: Sparkman, Gregg; Geiger, Nathan; Weber, Elke U., (23 August 2022). "Americans experience a false social reality by underestimating popular climate policy support by nearly half". Nature Communications 13: 4779. DOI:10.1038/s41467-022-32412-y. ● Explained by Yoder, Kate Americans are convinced climate action is unpopular. They’re very, very wrong. / Support for climate policies is double what most people think, a new study found.. Grist (29 August 2022). Archived from the original on 29 August 2022. Suggested caption: Research found that 80–90% of Americans underestimate the prevalence of support for major climate change mitigation policies and climate concern. While 66–80% Americans support these policies, Americans estimate the prevalence to be 37–43%. Researchers have called this misperception a false social reality, a form of pluralistic ignorance.

SVG text rendering issue

Version 2 rendered incorrectly in Climate change in the United States (though not in other articles!).

For Version 3, I removed the bold specification and made text-anchor="middle" explicit in each <text> specification (not just inherited from group <g>) in both lines of the main title. One of these changes seems to have solved the rendering problem in the only article that was having a problem before (Climate change in the United States).

 <g font-size="40px" font-family="Liberation Sans,sans-serif" text-anchor="middle" fill="black">
<text x="700" y="50" text-anchor="middle">Public's underestimation of support</text>
<text x="700" y="95" text-anchor="middle">for action against climate change</text>

</g>

Problem avoided; bug not solved.
