The public awareness campaign to convince Americans that climate change is an existential threat has been an epic failure.
In a recent segment, “Are Americans Afraid of Climate Change?” CNN’s Harry Enten incredulously noted that despite all “the bad weather” we’ve been seeing, only “40% of Americans are greatly worried about climate change. The same as in 2000!”
Forty seems high. Indeed, I’m skeptical that very many Americans spend much, if any, of their day “greatly” distressed about mild deviations in the climate. Sure, alarmism has calcified into a partisan position for many Democrats, and many young people have been convinced the future is bleak. They grow out of it. When asked specifically about their experiences with hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, droughts, heat waves, cold snaps, and winter storms, a considerable majority of people said they have witnessed no change one way or the other.
