Biden Is Spending $1 Trillion to Fight Climate Change. Voters Don’t Care.
The Wall Street Journal | MSN ^ | April 9, 2024 | by Amrith Ramkumar

President Biden has done more to address climate change than any of his predecessors. So far, voters don’t seem to care.

The Biden campaign and a collection of progressive groups are trying to change that. They believe the president’s record on climate change can boost his popularity with young voters.

The strategy is risky because climate has never been a priority with voters.

A Journal poll, which surveyed voters in seven swing states in March, found that just 3% of 18-to-34-year-old voters named climate change as their top issue, with most citing the economy, inflation or immigration. That is roughly in line with voters of all ages, 2% of whom cited climate change as their top issue.

Biden administration officials say climate is an economic issue, and funding will create new jobs and industries in many communities. They are pushing to get cash out the door to show the economic impact.

Privately, senior officials expressed frustration that their efforts weren’t resonating with the public. But they held out hope that voters will become more engaged on the issue as the election nears. “We need to show our work along the way because these investments do take time,” a White House official said.

When you ask people to generate an answer and not just check pre-selected boxes, the truth comes out.

1) so it is not about climate

2) Economic activity is not the same as building wealth.

For the thinkers, what is wealth?

Climate Change cannot be “fought”

Biden is embezzling money that is being funneled to Democrats. The process is modified Solandra in continuation. The only way to stop the thefts is to kill off the thieves.

climate change officials say climate is an economic issue.

If he believes that it’s people who cause it SO the only answer is to get rid of people.

The entire climate change scam is nothing but a power grab and a huge money maker that nobody knows where it went.

Globalists wet dream come true as people eat BS.

No! We care! That’s nearly $8,000 pay paying taxpayer. Save the money, give us a tax break.

In 6 1/2 years, it will be announced that climate change has been conquered. Joe Biden will be considered, the greatest savior of the planet since Jesus Christ. Of course, there will be newly minted billionaires leading the praise.

Translation: A parasite who contributes nothing to society throws money at an issue he doesn’t understand, using dollars earned by people who actually work and contribute to society.

How honorable..

What l notice is the WSJ is disappointed that voters don’t seem to appreciate that Biden is bankrupting the country this with BS. They used at least right of center, that’s over. Now just leftist hacks like the rest of them

Voters care.

Voters care about trillions of dollars wasted to fill Democratic donor pockets while destroying the economy and stealing from the middle class to give to billionaires. That is what the Biden administration's green policies do.

Climate change is just another scam to redistribute wealth. Just as Covid was.

The deceptively named “Inflation Reduction Act” which funded green new deal projects is a complete waste of money. There are no tangible results except corrupt patronage and vote buying. Like climate change, Dems will claim good things are coming. IRA is just a trillion dollars of borrowed money flushed down the drain. Sad.

By all means, focus on hyping this exclusively until November. People will be so grateful you saved the world.
