Correction to: Communications Earth & Environment https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00118-6, published online 26 February 2021.

The original version of the article contained an error in the abstract, which incorrectly read ‘Here I analyse data collected by the Gallop World Poll’. The correct version states ‘Gallup World Poll’ in place of ‘Gallop World Poll’. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
