2. The most important thing to internalize from this is that high %s of people saying climate change is *a problem* is completely compatible with rock-bottom %s saying its a priority. The topline number of X% say it's a crisis doesn't tell you enough
3. Clean energy/new energy sources/cheap energy is more appealing to voters and less polarizing than "climate change"
4. Americans are really feeling the pinch of high energy prices, they want solutions immediately, and they want those solutions to be cheaper energy rather than new appliances that might eventually lower their bills
Sounds like guns/healthcare where everyone agrees it's a huge problem but also consistently vote to not do a damn thing about it.
Or maybe voters care about a clean environment and know raising energy costs won't do anything to "fix the climate."
No no voters definitely want to be called racist bigots if they don’t want to worship in the climate doom cult
