Changing this view means showing them; that means calling, writing, turning up in person, talking in private to staff, etc.
The last time any politicians cared about what the public thought was somewhere in the 90’s.
I feel more like, for a lot of voters, climate change isn’t the reason to vote for or against someone while it absolutely a wedge issue for people in industries that cause climate change.
Lol I’d go as far to say the 60s. The Civil Rights Movement was the last big movement to be legitimately effective; which means the government gave enough of a shit to actually follow the demands of the working people instead of the ruling class that owns the economy which was exploiting their lack of protections.
I’ve never met anyone IRL in the 25 years I’ve been concerned, by that I mean beyond “oh yeah, climate change”.
On the other hand, I have actually met many people who say if it was really a serious issue, Government would so something about it :)
It’s why i now live much nearer the south pole, as a climate refugee :). Went from Latitude S19 to S30, stayed a decade, relaised not far enough and faster then expected, now at S42.
