At this point the myths about climate change aren’t scientific. They’re political.
If Harris said she was putting a tax on carbon that only affects oil, gas, and coal companies, putting a trillion dollars into solar and wind per year, and banning new fossil fuel developments, she would win in a landslide. But the political myth is that voters don’t want those things.
Right. It’s absolutely political. Although, that doesn’t change the fact that many citizens have bought in to the political claims that “Joe was gonna take our gas stoves” and “our grid can’t handle the electric cars.”
Some people legitimately don’t read anything scientific regarding climate change, and just accept the flood of corporate influenced lies from mainstream media.
Phrasing climate justice in a way that appeals to those rubes is easy.
My climate plan is going to make our energy grid robust enough to handle anything, it’s going to free us from depending on foreign oil sources like Russia, and it’s going to create a hundred thousand jobs for Americans. We are going to have such a strong solar energy industry we’re gonna put China to shame. The whole world is going to want to buy our solar gear. USA! USA!
