As the Biden administration moves forward with expensive and economically devastating regulations on vehicles, dishwashers, stoves and other major appliances under the guise of fighting "climate change," Americans are questioning the efficiency, validity and cost of the agenda.
New polling from Monmouth University shows a significant drop in "serious concern" over the issue of "climate change," particularly among young people.
"Most Americans continue to acknowledge the existence of climate change, according to the latest Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll, but the number who see this as a very serious problem has fallen below half. Support for government action to reduce activities that impact the climate has dipped below 6 in 10 for the first time since Monmouth began polling this topic nearly a decade ago. The poll finds that the drop in the importance and urgency of climate change has been most pronounced among younger adults," Monmouth found.
NATIONAL POLL: 59% support the government doing more to reduce climate change activities, down from 66% in 2021.

"Belief in climate change is down slightly from polls taken in 2021 (76%) and 2018 (78%), but is still nominally higher than it was in 2015 (70%). Nearly all Democrats (92%) believe climate change is happening, which has been fairly consistent across prior polls (94% in 2021, 92% in 2018, and 85% in 2015). Republicans (51%) are the least likely to accept climate change as a reality, which is similar to GOP opinion in 2021 (48%) and 2015 (49%), but down from a momentary jump recorded in 2018 (64%)," they continue. "Most independents (71%) believe climate change is happening, but this is down from 81% who said the same in 2021, as well as 78% in 2018 and 74% in 2015."
In recent months climate experts testifying in front of Congress have been unable to explain how expensive government policies will reduce global temperatures or make the U.S. "carbon neutral."
