Media Wonders Why We Aren’t Talking About Climate Doom Anymore

I can certainly understand. Even during the 2016 and 2020 election seasons there were way more articles to pick and choose from. It was rare that I had to hunt around for something, instead of seeing the same article printed at numerous outlets. These past 8-9 months climate scam articles have nosedived except for those ones repeated everywhere. Not to say they aren’t out there, just seems less. I do not even see it mentioned in commercials, either from the Harris campaign or their surrogates who seem to be breaking IRS rules

Why aren’t we talking about climate change anymore?

If you’ve been following the media coverage around the election — or even caught snippets of political ads, rallies and debates online — you’re probably familiar with the major issues of this election season.

But amid the relentless chatter about abortion and immigration policies, we seem to have let a major contender slip away — climate change.

Let’s start with one of the most central events of this election season — the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. When asked about their stances on climate change, neither candidate could help but steer the conversation away from the issue. (snip)

Each candidate treated climate change as a mere segway to an endless debate about the economy. Avoidance of this issue seems to be an unfortunate trend throughout most of the major campaign events this election season.

True, because most voters only care about ‘climate change’ in coffee house bull sessions, not in the Real World. It’s easy to bleat about it when things are going well. Not so much when the economy feels poor.

An article by Brookings claims that the economic burden amongst young voters — who make up 29% of the electorate — has been ballooning since the Covid-19 pandemic. The article states voter turnout amongst young people will depend significantly on the candidate’s commitment to a brighter economic future.

Climate change — a more gradually developing issue — simply does not feel like a pressing issue compared to public hysteria over economic crises. A professor of psychology at Harvard University told The Guardian that climate change is not occurring at a pace that is fast enough for people to give more attention to the subject.

Real world issues always beat ginned up ones.

    Even the Democrats realize that piling additional costs on working class people who are aghast at the cost of groceries is a sure vote loser for the crackpot from California. Most of the global warming climate change catastrophe activist are hoping that if they can just get Mrs Emhoff over the finish line in first place, she’ll then turn to supporting their policies.

    The left call our 45th, and hopefully 47th President a fascist, but he’s not the one who would try to dig his hand deeper into all of our wallets for these cockamamie schemes that won’t work anyway, after not really campaigning on them in the first place.
