ELECTION 2016: Why is climate change a non-issue?

[skookerasbil]

The Importance of and Concerns about Climate Change

Americans rank climate change last on a list of important issues. Only five percent of Americans say climate change is the most important issue facing the U.S. today. The issue of climate change ranks behind the lack of jobs (22%), the increasing gap between rich and poor (18%), health care (17%), the budget deficit (13%), immigration reform (10%), and the rising cost of education (9%).

Hmmmm....spend a few minutes in this forum, and read some threads posted by 3 or 4 board members who tell us "climate change" is the most important issue facing voters!!

Ummm..............note exactly!!


But is anybody else surprised it is basically a non-issue this election season??

Because the Republicans were too busy nominating their most liberal candidate. Our election is now a liberal vs. a liberal. All to rid the party of RINOs.

nah......polls have consistently shown for years that climate change/global warming is on the bottom of any lists of 20-25 issues. Pew........Gallup.........Rasmussen all concur. Its the same every year. Kinda amazing that despite the alarmism promoted by the president, still nobody is caring.

Yet more than half of Trump supporters agree climate change is happening. 70% back putting more research into it. But Trump supporters have never been considered consistent or very bright.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Oh.

Indeed, there is climate change. No one of sound mind says otherwise.

The argument concerns anthropogenic influence.

Irrelevant in the bigger picture..........the economy dominates the polls in terms of concern which means climate change........doesn't. For the DUMS either btw.........

Dang.........climate change doesn't even make the list s0n............

Conservatives created the term climate change by the way.

Correct..........and a plurality thinks the whole man-made crap is BS. And thank God lest out electric rates double if a progressive had his/her way!! Luckily for the rest of us, the House is going to stay red until at least 2020 ( thank God for governor redistricting efforts )

So liberals don't find Climate Change important. That is great news.

That's why the Republican party is in fear of losing not only the House and Senate, but the presidency due to a Trump candidacy. Brag about the gerrymandering you have denied happened for the last couple decades. Tell us more about how Cruz rigged the delegate system but gerrymandering is a-okay as long as Trump wins. The technicalities are only fair when they work in your favor. Trump supporters are whiny bitches.

88,000 or more climate refugees in Canada right now. Damn near had the same thing in Washington state last year. Now if we get another hot dry summer in the Pacific Northwest, we may not be as lucky as last year. And were a town of equal size as Fort MacMurray to burn on the East Coast, you would see a real change in the voters concerns involving climate change.

The changes are there to see for those not blinded by their idiotic ideology.

Climate change is a non-issue, why? Can anyone tell us why?

"Climate refugees"?

Explain. Be advised that the cause of the fire has not been determined.

 

[Old Rocks]

It is an issue, and will continue to grow in importance as we see more results from a changing climate. Such as we are seeing in Northern Alberta right now.

LOL. Another Silly Billy we have here.

Of course a couple of decades of increasing warm and dry winters, same for spring, and 90+ in the first week of May, in Northern Alberta has nothing to do with the fires, now does it?. Increasingly fierce wild fires were among the predictions for the results of the global warming. And we have been seeing that on all the continents.

Whatever started the fire is irrelevant, the last two decades have set up our western and northern forests for conflagations, just as predicted, and those do not stop at the city limits. We saw that here in Oregon and Washington last summer. Only some very heroic efforts on the part of our firefighters saved several towns in those states. If we get another dry hot windy summer, we are not likely to be so lucky.

Ri-iiiiiight.

 

[Old Rocks]

Ri-iiiiiight? Anything of substance to say, Silly Billy?
