    Heh, I love the implied acknowledgement that Republicans are a separate and distinct group from adults.

    But what if we made the world less polluted for no reason?!

      Oh no, we accidentally developed these cheaper non polluting energy sources. And then we accidentally helped people get appliances that use way less electricity and upgrade their homes to save them money on their bills. I guess it was all for nothing.

      Oily billionaires would cry, and elected Republicans who depend on their money can’t have that.

    And yet, they’ll still vote lockstep for climate deniers, so how worried can they really be?

    Brandon has actually been a pretty good prez. It’s just a really fucked sociopolitical climate.

    Biden has been a good president. Remember the horrible criminal president we had last term?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A broad majority of US adults – 73% – say the federal government should develop its climate policies with the goal of cutting the country’s planet-warming pollution in half by the end of the decade.

    The Biden administration is also crafting and implementing several federal regulations designed to cut pollution from the oil and gas industry, power plants, and gas-powered vehicles.

    But few Americans, only 2%, see climate change as the most important issue facing the country, giving higher priority to the economy and cost of living.

    Most US adults say humanity bears a great deal of responsibility to try to reduce climate change but believe the US and Chinese governments and the energy industry are all doing too little to fix the problem.

    As past polls have found, there is a profound partisan divide over how Americans feel about climate change, and what to do about it, that outweighs other factors such as age and gender.

    The poll finds that more than 4 in 10 Americans say they’ve experienced extreme weather over the past year, with most in that group calling climate change a contributing factor.
