A new Monmouth University poll doesn’t portend well for climate alarmists: The climate crisis narrative, unsurprisingly, isn’t selling well - or at all - with the American people. Monmouth explained, “Less than half (46 percent) of the American public sees climate change as a very serious problem.”
This is down for every voting demographic group–Republicans, independents, and even Democrats. And the survey found that support for government action to fight climate change - like the Inflation Reduction Act and Biden administration net-zero directives - also has fallen.

The climatechange/globalwarming scam is of no importance to people struggling with the ever increasing inflation.

People do not want to let an EV car limit their freedom to travel, and most can't afford them anyway. For decades we have seen the government us "global warming", "AGW", and "climate change" as arguments to deny us the efficient and reliable automobiles and other appliances we used to take for granted. Most of us knew this was a hoax as soon as they started regulating CO2.

Should be pretty obvious right now that we are being played for fools.
Every climate "remedy" proposed is just more socialism and misery.

Carbon dioxide is a beneficial trace gas, not any kind of a pollutant. More CO2 causes more green plant growth, a more vibrant and wonderful environment and higher crop yields.
For most of the last 1 million years, there has been far, far more CO2 in the atmosphere than now.
These climate crazies are pushing fraud and lies for personal financial and power gains.

I'm so old I remember the ozone hole, acid rain, global cooling and global warming. When none of them seemed to cause much harm, the elite came up with climate change and made it the boogie man that causes all the evil in the world. Call me cynical. I used to play out in the field behind our house and I found lots of crinoid fossils. I live in Kentucky and way back when, it was underwater. Of course climate has changed.

Ha! If you think support for the climate clowns is down now? Wait until the power goes out and people start freezing to death or dying of heat stroke because of these yo-yos! Wait until people can't get from point A to point B, or get enough food. Methinks the climate clowns will be in heap big hot water by then.
Btw, twenty times as many people die from cold than heat. For more info, look up a massive study published in The Lancet which utilized data from 74 million deaths in 384 different locations in 13 countries over the period of 1985 to 2012. This also begs the question of why would we not want a warmer climate? Oh yeah, the National Weather Service (or NOAA) did a study which indicated more people die of heat than cold. First off, the study wasn't nearly as extensive, and not based in medicine like the Lancet study, and coming from a governmental agency I wouldn't trust it regardless of their conclusions.

The term "Climate Change" is passe. It would include natural as well as man made changes in the climate. The new preferred is "Climate Disruption" because it imply that evil anti science people are causing the dreaded change. I don't deny Climate Change. I adore it. If it weren't for Climate Change I would have to run out of the front door of my house each morning and yell at the Wooly Mammoths to get their wooly behinds off my yard. Them things is mean.

I am always alarmed that 46 percent of Americans still believe this lie and think Biden is a great president. Maybe the same worm which ate Kennedy's brain has also gotten to them.

Sure, Americans are rejecting it. But other Americans are doubling and tripling down on it. We're closer than ever to having the authoritarian Left control every decision and action in our lives.

Carbon tax credit swap is a grift and should be outlawed. The state of California made a pact with Canada that taxes businesses in California and sends that money to Canada.

The climate hoax is very destructive. It cheapens the quality and increases the price of many essential goods, not due to Constitutionally enacted laws, but by EPA regulations.

There is an old saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".
Loud, vocal minorities tend to be treated as majorities because the majorities remains silent.
