Well, in most votes, belief in Doing Something about anthropogenic climate change hasn’t driven people to the polls, except to vote against Doing Something. I doubt 2020 will be any different, but, the Cult of Climastrology can always hope
More voters than ever say the climate crisis is their top priority
A growing share of voters list climate and the environment as their top priority, according to a new poll from the Environmental Voter Project.
Of the registered voters surveyed, 14 percent named “addressing climate change and protecting the environment†their No. 1 priority over all other issues, compared with 2 to 6 percent before the 2016 presidential election.
Climate and environment voters are also the most motivated to vote in 2020, saying they are willing to wait in line an average of an hour and 13 minutes at the polls.
“There are almost 30 million climate voters out there who are already registered to vote. That’s a huge constituency,†said Nathaniel Stinnett, the founder of the project, which aims to identify inactive environmentalists and turn them into consistent activists and voters.
“That’s like four times the number of NRA members. It’s enormous, and a lot of that growth has happened over the last two to three years.â€
ZOMG! More than the NRA!!!!!!
The poll compared survey responses to public voter file records and found that infrequent voters are more likely than frequent ones to assign a higher importance to climate and the environment.
That suggests environment advocates could benefit from getting more climate-minded voters to the polls with some easy fixes, such as awareness campaigns for early and absentee voting. A quarter of infrequent voters were not aware they could vote early, and 29 percent weren’t aware they could vote absentee. Voting by mail could also increase environment voter turnout.
Of course, when you explain to these infrequent voters that they’d be voting to raise their cost of living, cost of energy, take more money out of their pockets, and limit their freedom, liberty, and choice, that could change the dynamics. Because the Warmists pushing this stuff keep forgetting that ‘climate change’ is popular in theory, not in practice. And, if they think this is going to help defeat Donald Trump, well, good luck with that!
