A scene of a group of people from the show South Park, from an episode discussing climate change. One man stands up and asks, “When should I start to worry?”

Hmm, these guys look at “voter concerns” and see climate change isn’t important to one particular demographic of people (who tend to skew older and less educated.) Meanwhile, a significant amount of young, educated people are choosing not to have children due to climate change (among other reasons, but it’s a big one.) News articles regularly ask why we aren’t having babies.
It’s almost like, if you put all the puzzle pieces together, it makes a “big picture” of sorts. Like, maybe “voter concerns” don’t tell the whole story. Maybe if we looked at people’s behavior, and the circumstances thereof, we’d see that actions speak louder than words.

The "shifting attitudes":
Say climate change is a very big problem.” In 2016, it was 40%. It was 40%. Look where we are in 2026 — it’s 39%, it’s 39%.
Repeating the same number twice doesn't make a 1% change a big deal...
It's not one of the top three issues for voters right now.
Just like a 45 year old who just got his foot cut off doesn't have "get my prostate checked" as a current medical health priority
It doesn't mean he's not worried about cancer, doesn't mean he doesn't think he needs checked.
But right now there's other more pressing concerns.
