Well, Hotcoldwetdry is becoming a bigger issue in Europe as of late, but, it’s over reducing the government control over citizen’s lives via the scam

Climate change was a major US election issue in 2020. Why has it taken a back seat in 2024?

The next month could be make or break for global climate action. On 5 November, the US will vote for who becomes the next president. Shortly after, world leaders will meet for COP29 in Baku to take part in vital international climate talks. (whining about CO2 output, while the EU forces the peasants into EVs and on trains while the Elites travel in fossil fueled private jets and limos)

Neither candidate has tapped into this urgency on the campaign trail, however – even after the deadly consequences of climate change-fueled weather wrought havoc in swing states over the last few months. (only the cultists believe Helene and Milton were because Other People drove fossil fueled vehicles)

Despite this, the 2024 election is a stark contrast to 2020 when climate was a major ballot issue, shooting to the top of the key concerns list for US voters.

This time around climate change has instead taken a back seat to other issues like the economy, immigration and foreign policy.

Does anyone remember that? I don’t, and I pay attention to this stuff, obviously. I remember it being about COVID and Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Polling suggests that climate change has become less of a deciding factor for many voters during this election than it was in 2020.

It ranks low on the list of major ballot issues for the 2024 election, according to Pew Research Center data. A survey of registered voters released at the beginning of September found that overall, 37 per cent said it was “very important” to their vote.

But there were wide differences between those who support Harris and those who support Trump. Just 11 per cent of Trump supporters said it was very important to their vote compared to 62 per cent of Harris supporters. For Harris voters, that puts climate change in their top five major ballot issues.

More recent polling released in early October by Gallup found that of 22 key election issues, climate change was one of only two viewed by less than a majority of voters as extremely or very important to their presidential choice. Just 21 per cent said climate change was of the utmost importance to their vote.

Again, climate change does somewhat OK when things are going well. When things aren’t, people are less than concerned with a theoretical issue when compared to things that are actually happening, like much higher food and energy costs, which have outpaced any gains in wages. Seeing the stories of illegals/migrants streaming into the US through the wide open border and killing and raping citizens, turning areas into 3rd world crime markets, seeing vast sums of taxpayer funds spent on them. Seeing the war in Ukraine have the potential to become WWIII, and the poor response from the Biden-Harris admin after Hamas attacked Israeli citizens, after they gave Iran lots of cash. Seeing biological men on women’s sports teams, seeing them in the locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms of girls. And so much more. These are real.
