‘Climate Change’ Once Again At The Bottom Of Americans’ Biggest Concerns

For years, global warming/climate change activists have warned that our modern lifestyles are driving planet Earth to the brink of destruction, but for just as long, people who have had to endure the fearmongering have seen that the feverish, doom-and-gloom predictions have yet to come true.

As such, it should be no surprise—except to the most committed climate change activist—that the issue isn’t uppermost in the minds of the vast majority of people, many of whom are struggling mightily in the Joe Biden presidential era.

Now, a new Gallup poll finds that the issue of “Environment/Pollution/Climate change” is dead last on a lengthy list of issues and concerns, something that won’t bode well for the far-left of the Democratic Party or, possibly for the Biden administration’s “green energy” push.

By comparison, a majority of respondents are super concerned about Biden’s horrific open-border policies that have led to a flood of illegal immigrants.

“The poll comes as leftists celebrated Earth Day on Monday by using it as a political lever to push a radical agenda of transforming the American economy towards socialism,” Breitbart News noted.

Per Gallup:

  • Immigration: 28 percent
  • The government/Poor leadership: 19 percent
  • Economy in general: 14 percent
  • High cost of living/Inflation: 11 percent
  • Poverty/Hunger/Homelessness: 6 percent
  • Unifying the country: 4 percent
  • Crime/Violence: 3 percent
  • Elections/Election reform/Democracy: 3 percent
  • Race relations/Racism: 3 percent
  • Abortion: 3 percent
  • Ethics/Moral/Religious/Family decline: 3 percent
  • Foreign policy/Foreign aid/Focus overseas: 3 percent
  • Unemployment/Jobs: 2 percent
  • Federal budget deficit/Federal debt: 2 percent
  • Wage issues: 2 percent
  • Health care: 2 percent
  • Education: 2 percent
  • Judicial system/Courts/Laws: 2 percent
  • War in the Middle East: 2 percent
  • Environment/Pollution/Climate change: 2 percent

According to Gallup, twice as many people are concerned about the disunity in our country than they are about the planet spontaneously combusting (4 percent vs. 2 percent).

Also not necessarily a good thing for the Democrat left: The issue of abortion is also well down the list of concerns at 3 percent; that doesn’t come close to the more than 53 percent, collectively, who are much more concerned with their own personal economic conditions and the chaos at the border.
