Americans generally support climate policy, but they think others generally don't
Americans generally support climate policy, but they think others generally don't
A new study finds that Americans underestimate how many are concerned about climate change as well as support for major climate policies by nearly half, with climate policy supporters significantly outnumbering non-supporters.
My fellow Americans. Get off your asses and vote. In every election. Even in red areas. If we all get off our asses, we will generally win. Run for local office if you are able. Contact local officials and get them to take measures.

An overwhelming share of the french population supports action against climate change and say the issue is important to them
63% of french people think the government should subsidize gasoline to lower prices at the pump
The usual all against climate change, as long as I do not have to pay for it or change my lifestyle in the slightest.
I've never been to France. How car dependent is it? Do people need or choose to drive? For those that need, why not ask to subsidize electric vehicles, the lesser evil?
It depends where you live. Southern france is more car dependent, places rural places as well ; In general, it's not car dependent
Lots of people chose to live 30 minutes away from their work by car and think it's normal do to so
In general, it's not car dependent
I envy that. If you haven't been to the US, outside of a small handful of cities, car ownership might as well be mandatory. Old small towns are walkable/bikeable, but you still need a car because they almost never have rail or bus connections.
I live about 2km from a grocery store. The only way to get there is a road with 80-90kph car traffic with no continuous sidewalk or shoulder. Based on life circumstances at the time, this location was the best choice at the time to minimize driving.
