There's a difference between most important and existential.
If you truly believe the world will end unless you solve a specific problem. You should be highly motivated to solve that problem and willing to make even extreme sacrifices to get that done.
For instance I grew up in the Catholic church and knew plenty of single issue voters. Pro-life voters would vote for anyone, no matter how much they despised them or disagreed with all their other politics, as long as they promised to try to ban abortion.
I don't really see this on the climate change side. They say it's existential threat but they don't act like it.
