A solid majority (56%) overall called climate change a major threat, including almost 9 in 10 Democrats and a slim majority of independents. But 70% of Republicans said it’s either just a minor threat or no threat at all.

      Absolutely not. I have solar panels on my roof and im pretty left, but my personal wellbeing goes before something abstract like Climate change that will effect me, but not as much as me being unable to afford my nice life anymore.

        Pretty left you say, but you don’t care about leftist values. Do you think left is just a label you give yourself? Compassion and a sense of social justice are at the core of any left position.

        Egoism is not. “Nach mir die Sintflut”, an English equivalent could be a “devil-may-care” attitude, is a libertarian position.
