Fewer Americans see climate change as very serious problem: Survey
Fewer Americans today see climate change as a “very serious” problem than they did three years ago, according to a new survey released Monday.
The Monmouth University poll, conducted on April 18-22 shows a 10-point decline in Americans who says climate change is a “very serious” problem, falling from 56 percent in September 2021 to 46 percent in April.
The decline was less steep overall – with 66 percent describing climate change as a problem that’s either “very serious” or “somewhat serious.” That’s down from 2021, when 70 percent of respondents described the climate change problem as either “very serious” or “somewhat serious.”
When people have real problems, ie; Bidenflation, high grocery prices, high energy prices, etc, abstract, OK, scam, issues like ‘climate change’ lose concern. When things are going well 1st World folks have plenty of time to worry about minor things and make them into major things in their mind, even they are still minor
Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, attributed this trend to a decline in urgency among Americans.
“Most Americans continue to believe climate change is real. The difference in these latest poll results is a decline in a sense of urgency around this issue,” Murray said.
Of course, these same people who believe man-induced climate change is real do almost nothing in their own lives
Among adults ages 18-34, there was a 17-point drop over the last three years in those calling climate change a “very serious” problem. Sixty-seven percent in this age group said climate change was a very serious problem in 2021, compared to 50 percent this year.
Yeah, the finally got smacked with the cold mackerel of truth that there are actually real issues out there, ones of actual consequence.
I have no problem at all with people selling their gasoline care and buying plug in electrics, or remodeling their kitchens and changing from their old gas range to a new electric one, or swapping out their gas furnaces for new electric heat pump based systems. Those are personal choices, and ought to be freely available.
What I do object to is the notion that the government could force people to do those things.
It must have something to do with all the activists being wrong about everything for decades. Or maybe it is because of the friends they keep. The climate activists seem to be closely aligned with all the other whackadoodle activists in the democratic party.
