From the Washington Post:
President Biden wants to spend in excess of $1 trillion to combat climate change, but more than one-third of Americans are unwilling to chip in a single buck.
A poll of 1,200 registered voters released Tuesday by the Competitive Enterprise Institute found that 35% were unwilling to spend any of their own money to reduce the impact of climate change, with another 15% saying they would only go as high as $10 per month.
Another 6% said they would be willing to spend between $11 and $20 per month. At the other end of the spectrum were those who said they would part with between $901 and $1,000 per month on climate — they numbered 1%.
The results of the survey by CRC Research are consistent with previous polls showing that by and large, Americans are climate tightwads.
The 2019 AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs survey that found 57% were willing to spend an additional $1 per month on climate change, but only 28% would pay $10.

I have long complained about biased polls, which ask whether people are concerned about climate change, but fail to question how much they would be prepared to pay.
This latest poll suggests that 56% would not want to pay more than $20 a month. By contrast, only 1% would pay $1000 a month; indeed only the wealthiest could afford to pay that much.
Why would anyone spend a dollar to help the ‘green’ industry when every form of green energy is unsustainable from start to finish. Then power companies are blackmailed by corrupt bureaucrats and forced to pay up to five times as much for power they could have generated themselves. One of the biggest scams ever, right next to Covid.
One third of Americans see through the climate change scam. This scam has nothing to do with climate change. It’s a pro-poverty agenda designed to give anti-humanists political control. Climate change is an attempt to guilt-trip and gaslight humanity. It’s akin to religion, done with maths. Like the Aztec religion,

This battle between Aztec Gods and darkness could not be ‘won’. The darkness could not be vanquished forever. So it was a kind of equilibrium maintained by the Gods by their constant sacrifice for our sake. Like a mortgage debt, or a bondage debt, it had to be repaid: by our sacrifice. Including mass human sacrifice.
None of ideas behind the climate scam make sense. Those ideas are models which have never been validated, any empirical falsification attempts are demonized as ‘denialism’.
Supporting evidence. Attached.
HDI = Human Development Index.
Human development index, HDI, and carbon emissions are closely correlated. Spending money to stop climate change will lower emissions, so lower HDI. Spending money to stop climate change is equivalent to spending money to make oneself poorer. It’s insane. 33% of Americans are sane, the other 67% are crazy.
Isn’t this from the Washington Times, not the Post?
I’ll chip in for some oxy-combustion coal research.
I love to point out to folks that “We’ve got a lot of coal in this world and it’s going to be used so lets do it intelligently and as clean as possible”.
The only problem is that they have to get their head wrapped around the fact that CO2 is NOT a pollutant.
Wish me luck LOL
The wealthiest do not spend money on fighting climate change. They make money on it . . .
That checks out. same proportion of “Americans” who don’t think elections should matter if their guy loses.
I would give them a dollar to shut up and go the f*ck away. Once they break the contract we can force them to shut up and go the f*ck away. What a bargain!
