Gabriella Hoffman has an article at Townhall.com entitled Climate Catastrophizing Finally Backfiring on Radical Environmentalists. I say from Hoffmans voice to God's ear. I have been waiting for this for twenty-five years.
Bloomberg writes Americans appear to long for Trump administration-era energy policies and European right-wing parties skeptical of Green New Deal policies are gaining traction ahead of their June parliamentary elections.
"Part of the reason the political winds are shifting is that climate regulations, as they ramp up in stringency, are starting to impinge more on people’s daily lives — at a time when many feel squeezed by inflation and the cost of living,” the report observedd.
With respect to our country, Americans care deeply about the environment and want clean air and clean water. Who doesn’t? What turns people off from environmentalism, naturally, is putting nature above people and guilting us for traveling, driving cars, eating red meat, and simply breathing.
Normal Americans of course want a clean environment. They want a clean environment for the children and future generations as well. But everything in life requires a balance between competing goods. One must evaluate what one desires against what is possible, what is affordable as well as what one must give up to have the desirable thing. This is what normal people do when evaluating anything. In addition to that, one must consider other budgetary items like food, shelter, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other considerations. No one has time to elevate just one thing over everything else.
Gentle readers can read the whole article, and whatever you do, don't eat ze bugs.
