This would matter in a democracy, but the United States is far from it. Between the electors and gerrymandering the vote of someone who would support climate change actions carry much less weight, a third or less in some cases. With elections costing billions of dollars, and lobbying being legal, a few big corporations can't just influence policy, but literally write it. It doesn't matter if it's 66% or 80% if the people are not represented. Might as well throw in the kids too, they aren't represented either. It's only their future. Even when the people are represented, legislation done through executive orders is trivially squashed by a new incumbent or the Supreme Court packed with religious nuts.
