#KatharineHayhoe has an insightful take on the way the media uses opinion polls to undermine support for #ClimateAction. When you ask people to rank their concerns, immediate, daily issues always come out on top. This plays into the false dichotomy of environment vs 'real' issues.

#CBC interview just now as another example: "most people rank inflation, price of gas, groceries, housing ahead of climate, so those are the issues that we need to address first".

Which incorporates two lies: first, that people can't want more than one thing at a time; and second, that problems with inflation, gas & grocery prices, housing aren't fundamentally tied to climate.

The cognitive dissonance is most obvious in the contention that we can't take climate action because gas prices are too high

"With the risks changing so quickly, it’s no longer enough to look to the past as a guide to the future. We need to prepare for what’s coming, not just what’s happened before. That means that we need more data, more expertise, more preparation, more communication, and more follow through, to keep people safe. "

According to top climate science leader #KatharineHayhoe one of the most important things we can do for the #ClimateCrisis is to actually TALK about it!
