  its voting habits (let alone consumption/etc but I think that is a red-herring anyway, consumption or reductions in one area will be consumed in some other sector of the economy. capitalism basically routes around "inefficiency" just like the internet routes around its own damage, and consumers expressing non-optimal consumption preferences according to the laws of the society is "inefficiency" in this context. Stopping your beef consumption just makes it cheaper for someone else who will consume more, etc.) but anyway on voting habits: you still literally have states like florida that are going to be underwater within literal decades, that are getting hammered by climate change so badly that insurers have cranked their rates (followed by banning this, and then insurers pulling out entirely), and yet still are literal trump-voter swamps going massively red every cycle, even in statewide elections etc. it's literally not even an issue that people care about or will vote to fix, even though it's literally going to affect them personally before their children reach adulthood.
