Too late to make much of a difference, I suppose:
Voters in several key swing states have already started mailing in their November midterm ballots, and according to a poll conducted for three major environmental groups, they’re becoming more attuned to a range of environmental issues, including climate change.
Hart Research contacted 1505 likely voters by mobile phones and landlines in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and North Carolina and found that 54 percent of voters were more likely to favor candidates who advocate for action on climate change.
“This year is really crystalizing just how much of a liability climate science denial has been,” national press secretary at the League of Conservation Voters Jeff Gohringer told VICE News. “You see candidates across the country — whether it’s Cory Gardner in Colorado or Scott Brown in New Hampshire — trying to muddy the waters of where they stand on climate change because they know climate science denial is bad politics that puts them wildly out of step with voters.”
Other green issues polled well. Sixty-six percent of swing state voters favored candidates who supported regulations to limit carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. And 68 percent of them had favorable views of candidates who backed clean energy programs, like solar and wind.
Only 23 percent of voters said they had a less favorable view of a candidate if they support action on climate change and curbing carbon dioxide pollution.
If only people made the correct connection between the amoral 1% and the destruction of the planet’s ecosystem.
