Do voters care about climate change? How going green divides this election
As voters prepare to head to the polls in November, inflation, foreign policy and reproductive rights have dominated the national conversation, with environmental policy failing to emerge as a major ballot issue.
But with climate change fueling more damaging and deadly weather events, experts question if the effects of global warming have fallen victim to over-politicization on the national stage.
“There’s no innate reason that addressing climate change should be a partisan issue, but unfortunately, it has become one,” Gregory Dotson, former chief counsel of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and current environmental law professor at the University of Oregon, told ABC News.
Oh, there is a big reason: the Warmists are using ‘climate change’ as an excuse to grow government, increase its power over citizens, take more money, control the lives of citizens, and restrict their freedoms.
“This is an extremely consequential election with regard to climate change,” Dotson added.
National polls from the Pew Research Center released in Feb. 2024, found that Americans on both sides of the political aisle rank climate change initiatives as a far lower policy priority than other ballot issues.
And this is what has been happening even back during the 2000 election, when you had Al Gore. People will say ‘climate change’ is important, but, when compared with real issues it is always low hanging.
Between party lines, however, Democrats are substantially more likely than Republicans to prioritize protecting the environment (63% vs. 23%) and dealing with climate change (59% vs. 12%), according to the survey.
Still, these findings may underestimate the public’s support for climate initiatives despite not being a top voting priority.
“The large majority of Americans would prefer government action on climate change, but that doesn’t mean that they prioritize the issue when they’re going into their polling place and voting,” Nathaniel Stinnett, executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, told ABC News.
In other words, no one cares that much when the real world is involved. Now, explain what the Warmists want to do, as I mentioned above, and let’s see if they are willing to give all that stuff up.
Anastas, who co-founded the Green Chemistry Institute and has won the Nobel Prize for his work in sustainability, fears that the conversation surrounding climate change is missing an integral piece – the solutions.
If the country is going to transition to clean energy, Anastas believes the existing oil and gas infrastructure is the best fit to make that a reality.
And how does that happen? Only with government force, with legislation forcing the takeover of these private businesses.
