There's strong popular support to fix climate change. We know this from polls.
We also know that there are well-organized foreign propaganda teams attacking democracies around the world. The fact that some ill-informed right-wing radicals in France rioted doesn't mean there is no popular support for having a habitable planet in twenty years.

- whimsicalism 3y agoYou cannot poll on things without tradeoffs if you want a real answer. Most Americans have been polled as unwilling to pay $10/mo more in electrical bills if it meant that climate change were completely averted. I think comments about 20 years uninhabitibility are unproductive as most people see it for the lie that it is.
