President Biden wants to spend in excess of $1 trillion to combat climate change, but more than one-third of Americans are unwilling to chip in a single buck.
A poll of 1,200 registered voters released Tuesday by the Competitive Enterprise Institute found that 35% were unwilling to spend any of their own money to reduce the impact of climate change, with another 15% saying they would only go as high as $10 per month.
Another 6% said they would be willing to spend between $11 and $20 per month. At the other end of the spectrum were those who said they would part with between $901 and $1,000 per month on climate — they numbered 1%.
The results of the survey by CRC Research are consistent with previous polls showing that by and large, Americans are climate tightwads.
The 2019 AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs survey that found 57% were willing to spend an additional $1 per month on climate change, but only 28% would pay $10.
“This poll shows once again that Americans are unwilling to pay for the left’s anti-energy policies,” said CEI Center for Energy and Environment Director Myron Ebell in a statement. “The more people learn about the Biden-Harris Blackout Agenda, the less support there will be for spending trillions of taxpayer dollars for no measurable benefits.”
The penny-pinching on global warming came even though 67% of respondents said they were very concerned or somewhat concerned about climate change.
That said, 53% said climate was not a factor in their 2020 election vote, while only 6% said it was the top issue.
A majority in the poll — 55% — approved of Mr. Biden’s job performance, while voters were split on the direction of the country: 50% said the nation was headed in the right direction and 48% said it was off track.
Mr. Biden unveiled during the 2020 campaign a $1.7 trillion climate plan, following up after taking office with a series of initiatives, including a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that would funnel $174 billion to electric vehicles, $100 billion to phase out fossil fuels, and $10 billion for a Civilian Climate Corps.
His plan calls for achieving a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels, and net-zero emissions throughout the economy by 2050.
CEI President and CEO Kent Lassman warned that Americans may be unwilling to make the economic sacrifices necessary to achieve such ambitious goals.

Americans aren’t dummies

On the other end of the spectrum is someone, like me, who will happily spend a few bucks to ADD carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and brag about it, just to irritate the global warming scaremongers.
We have a government going ahead with climate change plans that will cost the average family $1,400 by a year some estimates yet the average American is willing to spend less than $10. We clearly have a dysfunctional democracy. This is what happens when we have mainstream media acting as an aggressive propaganda organization coupled with election fraud.
I recently read an article where the author acknowledged that renewable energy would always operate at a loss. His solution was to tax carbon dioxide emission to provide the funds to subsidize renewable energy. He had graphs showing that two thirds of Americans were very concerned about climate change. I don’t know where he got these but it is very inconsistent with all other information I have seen. Different polls from major polling organizations show that climate change is at the bottom or so low it doesn’t even make the chart of concerns. His poll results had to have targeted groups that were not represented of the entire population.
Why should we be forced to pay for Al Gores Wild Ides and his idiotic Dreams why don’t he go live in Stupidland with the rest of the Liberal screwballs
Western society is still suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and Wuhan Virus Denial. Trump was right on most issues. Time is on his side.
Americans don’t want to spend any of their money on the climate fraud, but they don’t care if their government spends trillions. They don’t register that all of the government’s money is coming from taxpayers one way or another, even if it is companies that are paying, they pass it along to the consumer until the company is profitable, or else they go out of business. Complex economics (not really) — well beyond the average person.
You’re 100% correct. So now you have to ask, “What’s their end game?”
Is it really about lockdowns or is it about something far sinister?

That much?
I wouldn’t spend a red cent.
That’s because the public now recognizes the fraud behind the Mean New Deal … https://newtube.app/user/RAOB/dLflNiS
