Younger Americans are not just concerned about climate change; they are angry. Just wait and see what happens as more of them get the vote.
Nothing focuses the mind on climate change quite as much as extreme weather events. When scientists first began warning about the impacts that greenhouse gas emissions might have on the climate, the threat was theoretical. Not anymore. Voters are seeing the impact of climate change in real time.
Global anxiety about climate change could turn into a political tidal wave. It may or may not arrive on our shores in time for the 2020 elections, but, when it does, it could hit with catastrophic force. That tidal wave is now headed in our direction. Thanks to record-setting droughts, heatwaves, catastrophic flooding and wildfires, voters in the U.S. can now see what's coming. Deadly hurricanes in the Gulf, forest fires in the West, record droughts in the South and Southwest, record flooding in the Midwest and Northeast—virtually every region of the country has now experienced a major disaster that may have been caused or exacerbated by climatic changes.
It may not take much for it to wipe out the last holdouts of climate change denial in the U.S. A recentof Gallup polls taken in the past two years indicates that concerns about climate change are higher in the Northeast and the West, but a clear majority of voters in the South and the Midwest also believe that"the seriousness of global warming is generally correct or underestimated.
