This decline is most pronounced among the younger demographic, with only 50 percent of 18 to 34-year-olds viewing it as a very serious issue, down from 67 percent in 2021.
This shift could show a growing skepticism and a reprioritization of immediate concerns such as economic pressures.
The poll also notes a decrease in support for government action on ‘climate change’, with 59 percent in favor of more federal intervention, a drop from past years. ...
This stable trend suggests that the decrease in perceived urgency and importance among the American public, especially younger adults, may be influenced by an observable lack of escalation in the direct impacts of climate change.
That "an observable lack of escalation in the direct impacts of climate change" bit is probably why we are seeing so much media hysteria around normal weather events like warm days in the summer. Around these parts, we were continually being drummed about 2023 being the "hottest summer on record" in a year where we didn't need to turn on the A/C even once!
Graphs in the main article give a bigger picture over all age ranges. Support for "government action" on climate has fallen for everyone except the 55+ boomer crowd, for whom it is holding steady.
"Around these parts, we were continually being drummed about 2023 being the "hottest summer on record" in a year where we didn't need to turn on the A/C even once!"
Oh, tell me about it! Around here (Pennsylvania), April and (so far) May have been abnormally cool and wet. Not even hardshell lefties have been whimpering about "globalclimatewarmingchange."
When you are working full time and still can’t afford to move out of your parent’s home. When date night consists of a long walk to the grocery store to pick up food for the family because gas is too expensive. Then you put fake causes in the dust bin.

We are shifting from an El Nino pattern to a La Nina pattern. During La Nina summers a large and persistent Bermuda high sets up off the coast of the SE United States, pumping up heat and humidity and increasing hurricane activity. Its likely to be a hot summer but not an unordinary summer in a La Nina year. But wait for the propaganda outlets to use our recency bias (particularly strong with weather related events) to make this into an apocalyptic event.
I missed the "It's Bullshit" category.
