They see through the BS, in other words. Most people want to look after God’s creation. They just don’t want to get screwed over by politicians in the process, nor do they necessarily want to buy into the false prophet scientists who have been claiming the end is nigh regarding this subject for decades now (always pushing the new end further down the line, but this time it’s for real, they swear!)

    Maybe they should vote with their wallets, which as far as I'm aware isn't happening. Also, Fossil Fuel subsidies? Did the progressives do that?

Meanwhile, what has actually happened: the scientists keep finding that their earlier predictions were too optimistic.
