I think a lot of people have given up.
- graeme 7y agoI know Canadian opinion polls best. Here, less than 20% of people identify climate change/environment as a top priority, and support for a carbon tax is about 45%, with a bit less than that opposed. Granted, the polls don’t measure apathy, but this doesn’t strike me as a society that is convinced climate change is a pressing problem. We’re more mildly concerned, and mildly supportive of policies aimed addressing it, even in a very limited way. https://globalnews.ca/news/4811385/ottawas-unpublished-internal-polls-carbon-tax-trudeau/ https://globalnews.ca/news/4811385/ottawas-unpublished-inter...
