When the going gets tough, today’s Americans sound the retreat — as if addressing inflation, a worldwide phenomenon, is at odds with also focusing on climate change
Pew Research Center poll early this year, in which 42% of adults surveyed said dealing with climate change should be a top priority for Biden and Congress. The number went up to 54% for respondents between ages 18 and 29, and 65% for Democrats
A poll this month found respondents almost evenly divided over whether Biden’s policies on climate are taking the country in the right direction. No wonder Congress isn’t feeling heat from voters to pass Biden’s signature climate package.
When the going gets tough, today’s Americans sound the retreat — as if addressing inflation, a worldwide phenomenon, is at odds with also focusing on climate change. We won’t walk and chew gum at the same time. It’s hard to believe this is the same nation that first landed men on the moon 53 years ago this week.
Anything, anything, to keep the Happy Motoring era alive. Any excuse — electric cars! Flying taxis! China and India are to blame! Climate change isn’t real! — to distract from the existential threat that is here, now www.seattletimes
