My fellow Americans. Get off your asses and vote. In every election. Even in red areas. If we all get off our asses, we will generally win. Run for local office if you are able. Contact local officials and get them to take measures.

Americans support climate policy? I’m in the deep south, and I literally know zero people who even believe in climate change. They sure as hell don’t support climate policy, and most of them are loud and proud about both of these things.

As silence said, many Republican voters are actually with liberals on a lot of positions but simply do not speak up, and even lie on certain surveys, because they too, like us, are afraid of the fascists who live near them.

Even in the deep south the number is much more than zero. It’s more that people aren’t talking about it

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
