Pew survey: U.S. voters put 'climate change' at bottom of priority list Ranks 17th of 18 issues facing the country

Every major Democratic presidential candidate has made addressing "climate change" a major priority, warning of doom for mankind if fossil fuels are not drastically curbed or eliminated within the next decade.

Voters, however, don't share that concern, according to a Pew survey that found it to be ranked 17th of 18 priorities the government should address.

That result is consistent with Pew polls since 2007, when "global warming" was added to a list of priorities voters were asked to assess. In 2016, when the language was changed to "climate change," the issue was ranked third to last. In most years it's been second to last and in some at the very bottom.

This year, only "global trade" was ranked lower than "climate change."

Let’s have grrrrrrreta provide some answers to....

When do her talent agents conclude the negotiations for Greta's TV series? Her name is trade marked. Now where is the show so I can NOT watch it ever?

I think I may try Your State Legislature in Action Live if the city council debates are on re-runs. More gripping.

Nothing about abortion or religious freedom on the list.

I think 4 or 5 of those are actually the role of the federal government.

I think Jim Cantore pronouncing “global climate change is a proven fact and will affect every person in the world...

The whole world is already being impacted by it. I was selling the merits of our chemical process to a prospective customer in Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago. He told me, "One of our key criteria will be the amount of CO2 produced by the process".

In SAUDI FREAKING ARABIA!
A country who's entire wealth is based on the burning of fossil fuels.

I responded, "Well, that's certainly one way of differentiating. Meanwhile, your competitors are deciding based on the rate of return of their capital".

We closed the sale a few weeks later.

I can’t imagine anyone voting for a democrat after reading that and all the other planks.

LOL What percentage of voters do you think ever read any party planks? 5%? I doubt it.

I'm not sure 5% even know what "planks" are!
Or even know what the parties actual positions are.

Ignorance is in abundance in America.
