Rightly or wrongly, voters believe that to be the case.

Wrong.

Should they agree that everyone should jump off a cliff just because the voters say so? That is essentially what the believers are saying....ruin your economy. Windmills and solar panels will not cover our demand, not even close. We are being asked to go back to 1900 or so in terms of CO2 emissions with 3 or 4 times the population. I can't be done without a MASSIVE nuclear plant construction program.

Leaders stick to their guns even in the face of opposition. They either go down for the cause or are later hailed for their strength sticking to what is right.

And I don’t hear any “leader” telling the public that the U.S. should build nuclear power plants with the same passion that it built tanks during WW II. There seems to be no “leadership” at all on this issue, despite the fact that nuclear is the best solution, and this nation has the resources to build hundreds of new nuclear power plants. We could even do it relatively fast if it were made a national priority, like D Day.

“Should they agree that everyone should jump off a cliff just because the voters say so?”

Polls are a lagging indicator. Liberal MSM bias has indoctrinated too many into the Globaloney crisis narrative.

If more voices exposed the lies of the CO2—and-AGW-will-kill-us hypemongers, then the people would reject the nonsense.
Politicians know that its a fools errand to argue with the ‘will of the people’ but that doesnt mean the rest of us, including the conservative punditocracy, should just be silint about what’s really going on.

And that CERTAINLY INCLUDES THE WEAKLY STANDARD!
