Despite longstanding political polarization on the issue, experts say there's still room to find common ground.

But, as another article looking at the same poll notes, “almost three-quarters of Republicans (72%) said the economy should be given priority, even at the risk of ignoring climate change. That is up 13 points since 2018 – despite the increases in climate-change-related weather disasters.”

    Start organizing your community! Fight against minimum parking requirements and single family zoning, protest against expanding or creating roads for cars instead of people, organize to make utilities like electricity municipal, fight against plastic-bag-ban bans, pressure your local government to make the neighborhood walkable, overrun a coal plant to shut it down, lobby the city to ban the installation of gas lines in new homes, organize a climate protest in front of the mayor’s office, etc.

    It all starts locally and builds up from there. That’s how we see change, from the bottom to the top. A popular chant on picket lines is “I believe that we will win”. We will win. We have to win. And we don’t win unless we fight, because when we fight, we win.

      overrun a coal plant to shut it down

      I love how you dropped this unfathomably based suggestion in a list of lame and ineffective ideas. I pick this one because it seems easier than dealing with the government.

        Can’t rule out the fun options 😉
