Even CNN Admits It: Americans “Don’t Care” about Climate Change Hysteria
Voters understand that their quality of life is more directly tied to jobs and immigration, rather than trace amounts of a life-essential gas floating in the atmosphere.
After multiple summers of “heat dome” hysteria, with climate cultism foisted on the public with apocalyptic headlines and ritual invocations of a planet supposedly on the brink, one of the leading pseudoscience propagandists has discovered an inconvenient political reality.
It turns out voters remain highly focused on matters closer to home.
CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, appeared with anchor John Berman this week to examine the political implications of “global warming” following the fake news reports that July was the hottest month ever recorded in this country.
Despite decades of relentless messaging and narrative-pushing, Enten reports that just 3% of voters list climate change as a top midterm concern, far behind the economy and immigration.
“You know, I was schvitzing a lot in the month of July, although granted, you know, I schvitz a lot all the time. But the bottom line when it comes to voters is, simply put, they don’t care. They don’t care.
“I mean, just look at these numbers. Okay, top issue in a midterm vote — you can list up to three issues. The economy, not surprisingly, comes in at number one at 54%. Immigration, 28%. Look at climate change — it’s tied for 14th, tied for 14th, all the way down here at 3%.
Johnny, I’m not the greatest mathematician in the world, but I sure as heck know that 54% is a whole heck of a lot higher than 3%.
So despite the climate being so warm in the month of July, the hottest month on record here in the United States of America, the voters, simply put, do not say that climate change is going to be an issue on which they vote in the midterm election.
Despite all the talk of climate change, voters, simply put, don't care.
Climate ranks 14th on list of top issue for the midterm vote (at 3%).
Those who say it's a very big problem is the same as in 2016 (~40%).

I would like to think that the hard work of many good scientists, who have worked hard to provide context into the complexities of climate science and who stress that carbon dioxide is not “toxic” to the environment, has played a large part in the rational assessment of policy priorities of most Americans.
To put it in perspective, our planet is in an interglacial period that represents a relatively warm interval between glacial phases of an ice age, when global temperatures rise over thousands of years. Ice sheets and glaciers retreat, adding water to the oceans and raising sea level. Vegetation zones and ecosystems also shift as conditions warm, cyclically and naturally. Earth is currently in the Holocene interglacial, which began roughly 11,700 years ago.
Researchers now identify 11 interglacial periods in the last 800,000 years, including today’s Holocene. Most of these eras lasted about 10,000–30,000 years. The last four each exceeded roughly 20,000 years, although their most stable warm intervals lasted approximately 10,000–15,000 years.
We should probably be grateful to be as warm as we are, as the alternative is substantially less pleasant.
I am grateful to Legal Insurrection for giving me the chance to do my part in getting a solidly science-based perspective published, which I glean from real experts who are often silenced by our mainstream media, ignored by eco-activist bureaucrats, and punished by climate cult extremists in academia. I would like to think these efforts have made a difference.
Americans are tired of being told that every warm spell proves imminent catastrophe, especially as many of us remember being warned with equal certainty about 50 years ago that the next great threat would be a future ice age.
The public recognizes that weather is hot in summer without accepting that every elevated thermometer reading requires another costly round of climate-policy panic. Voters also understand that their quality of life is more directly tied to jobs and immigration than to trace amounts of a life-essential gas floating in the atmosphere.
In any event, the gap between elite climate messaging and voter priorities is becoming impossible for even CNN to ignore… as much as it may like to.

Prove it, you cheap-seats gaslighting bastard.
I haven’t even done the research, and yet I’d be willing to lay a Benjamin on the table that says you’re lying.
The vile, stupid, evil and subversive Marxist/Mohammedan Dhimmi-crat fifth columnists are offering voters an utterly wicked and fanatical pro-tranny, pro-illegal alien criminal, pro-domestic criminal, pro-Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist, pro-infanticide, pro-“green”/”climate change”, agenda.
I’ll posit that this agenda isn’t popular with a majority of voting Americans.
If you have a choice between warming and cooling, take warming every time. An Ice Age will really spoil your day/year/millenia.
My question has always been: what SHOULD the climate be? When was it perfect?
Apparently it “should” be at whatever it was when we started keeping records. Because nature is good and humans are evil. And since nature is absolutely stable, and all change is caused by human intervention and is therefore evil, it follows that however it was when we started meddling is how it “should” be forever. It makes no difference if we happened to start recording in the middle of an ice age, or a drought, or some other uncommon phenomenon. If we started recording at night, then the sun coming up in the morning was the result of human intervention and is evil.
Last time it was perfect was just before God set the angel with the flaming sword at the gates.
Unless you’re a stupid kid undergoing brainwashing sessions in public schools and colleges.
We can’t risk the fascism and economic disaster that is likely if we give government the power to control every aspect of society that Progressive Fascists “need” to fight global warming.
We would be better off accepting the consequences if any of global warming.
It’s a rather simple con.
Systems of maximal liberty don’t deal smoothly with externalities.
So tyrants continually finger different externalities as new “existential crises”, primarily in order to destroy liberty and assume control..
It’s an important issue for me. Much much more needs to be done to expose this fraud and undo the climate grift that is largely supported by ridiculous law in certain jurisdictions. It has corrupted many institutions and wasted countless billions that has only enriched the grifters.
Yes, the climate graft’s shelf life has expired. What’s the left’s next fraud?
The ‘climate change’ grifters have much in common with many of the ‘civil rights/grievance’ grifters like SPLC. The true dragons of each movement were slain long ago. The problem is if they acknowledge ‘mission accomplished’ they’re out of a job …so they invent additional mythical foes to slay in order to keep the grift flowing into their pockets, funding their projects and to retain their influence/power.
Climate change and the environmental movement are designed to destroy our economy. Most likely funded by China and Russia.

Just one major volcanic eruption would wipe out all the “savings” from billions and billions spent on “green energy” projects…it’s just another governmental and bureaucratic spending grift where the politically favored get taxpayer dollars and the politicians skim off some for their own overseas bank accounts.
