Considering the massive propaganda effort to brainwash Americans into believing that climate change will doom humanity if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels yesterday, it is impressive to see just how little the American public buys the narrative.
A recent poll finds that Americans value energy independence, keeping car prices lower, and reducing the cost of electricity ahead of fighting climate change.
When asked, “Is it more important to make America energy independent or fight climate change?” most respondents (57%) chose energy independence, while another 39% chose climate change, and 4% said they were not sure.
When asked, “Which is more important, reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change, or keeping the price of cars low enough for families to afford them?” about half of respondents (50%) chose keeping car prices low, while 43% said reducing greenhouse gas emissions was more important. The remaining 7% said they were not sure.
When asked, “Which is more important, reducing greenhouse gas emissions or reducing the cost and improving the reliability of electricity and gas for American families?” respondents again rejected the climate goals. A majority (59%) said reducing energy cost and improving reliability was more important, while about a third (35%) chose the climate option. The remainder (5%) said they were not sure.
The poll, conducted by RMG Research on behalf of Napolitan News Service, surveyed a representative sample of 1,000 Americans on March 18 and 19. The margin of error is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
The Climate Industrial Complex
This poll demonstrates strong resilience in the face of a climate alarmist industrial complex that has seized the commanding heights of American culture.
Legacy media outlets receive large grants to cover climate issues from an alarmist perspective, for example. In 2022, the Associated Press announced a new team dedicated to covering climate issues, with funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Quadrivium, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
The MacArthur Foundation announced more than $6 million in grants to support climate journalism earlier this year. The foundation’s president, John Palfrey, made no bones about his bias on the issue. “One of the most important stories of our time centers on the existential crisis climate change poses to humanity, along with the positive health benefits and economic opportunities inherent in the clean energy transition,” he said.
These represent just a sampling of the many climate alarmist groups pouring money into media outlets to slant coverage on the issue. They seem to be getting a lot for their money, too. The Associated Press Stylebook, a handbook most news outlets use to help inform their written style, has urged journalists to “avoid false balance” on climate change.
“Greenhouse gases are the main driver of climate change,” the style guide declares from on high. “Climate change, resulting in the climate crisis, is largely caused by human activities that emit carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, according to the vast majority of peer-reviewed studies, science organizations, and climate scientists.”
AP doesn’t admit that the supposed unanimity of scientists on man-made catastrophic climate change is based on a lie—that 97% of scientists don’t actually believe the world is going to end because we burn fossil fuels.
The study claiming to reach that conclusion merely analyzed peer-reviewed research papers, put them in seven categories, and then artificially claimed that the vast majority of the papers making any claim favored the alarmist view. Many scientists have said the study mischaracterized their research.
Yet the 97% statistic keeps showing up.
Back in 2021, Facebook started adding notes to posts about climate change, directing users to a “Climate Science Information Center” that repeated the 97% claim.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden championed a bill Democrats termed the “Inflation Reduction Act.” Before it passed, they claimed it would fight inflation. After it passed, Biden’s White House bragged that it represented “the largest investment in climate action in history.”
As I expose in my book, “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government,” Biden tapped John Podesta, founder of the Center for American Progress, to determine where the green grants went, and his administration served as a revolving door for climate activists.
Activists would go from the administration to a climate alarmist nonprofit like the Natural Resources Defense Council and then back to the White House (as former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy did). Others would go from a climate group like the National Wildlife Federation to the administration, then back to another climate group, like the Wilderness Society (as Tracey Stone-Manning did).
The climate activist groups that staffed and advised the Biden administration received funding from the Left’s dark money network, which includes the nonprofits established by Arabella Advisors; George and Alex Soros’ Open Society Foundations; the Tides Foundation; and others. These left-leaning groups promote critical race theory (the view that America is systemically racist), gender ideology, and a preference for technocratic government, in addition to climate alarmism.
This poll shows, yet again, that Americans aren’t buying what the climate alarmists are selling, no matter how hard they push it.

Part II - Additional Information with More Facts, Insights, plus Other Topics
1) MHProNews has been covering the the 'climate crisis' for years. It is NOT settled science, as some claim. Some examples of that with sources cited are as follows.
https://www.manufacturedhomepr...
2) Climate change has always occurred. The earth goes through warming and cooling cycles. The water levels of the world are known to historically rise and fall. Left-leaning PBS' Nova is among the sources that reported that the largest known hurricane occurred before there was large scale industrial production in the world. Two or three illustrations can quickly help dispel the concerns about so-called climate change in the alarming way that some claim.
https://www.manufacturedhomepr...
3) There are issues on the left that are arguably legitimate. Certainly, the vast majority of the population would be opposed to making water or soil toxic, for example. Many on the left and right agree that big business interests and monopolization of the economy can be a threat to the interests of most everyday Americans.
4) It is debtable if climate alarmism is waning or not. But a careful look at the issue would reveal that there should be no climate alarmism. It is a funded agenda. Follow the money trail and see the linked reports above to learn more. Other topics follow. Facts matter. Evidence matters. Sound analysis matters. FEA more or less equals the truth. That's FEAT.
