Despite longstanding political polarization on the issue, experts say there's still room to find common ground.

But, as another article looking at the same poll notes, "almost three-quarters of Republicans (72%) said the economy should be given priority, even at the risk of ignoring climate change. That is up 13 points since 2018 – despite the increases in climate-change-related weather disasters."

WSJ had an Opinion piece out today about how "The Left" is still trying to make people panic about climate change. These fucking people.

- Infuriating, but not surprising. They're convinced the consequences of it are only going to hit poor and non-white people in the global south, and they don't see them suffering and dying en masse as anything worth panicking about because they're genocidal shitheads.
- Those damn liberals, making people go outside.
