68% of voters want the US to take ambitious action on climate change!
Respondents were asked to choose between two statements related to the U.S.’s role in global climate leadership, with a bipartisan majority (68%) selecting the following statement: “The United States should take ambitious action to address climate change, even if other countries do not. We should lead the world on this issue and set the example for other countries to follow suit.” 

In contrast, just 25% of voters prefer the following statement: “If other countries do not take action to address climate change, the United States should not either. It is not fair for us to act while other countries contributing to the problem are sitting still.”


Despite political polarization reaching a historic high in recent years, Americans aren’t divided on ensuring clean air and water for every community. As the U.S. celebrates Earth Day, many Americans say the holiday holds personal importance and want the U.S. to prioritize clean air and water for all and take ambitious action on climate change.

The cryosphere is in trouble due to climate change, and it's accelerating loss. "Glaciologists in the Alps considered 2% of ice lost in a single year to be 'extreme'. This year has seen an estimated 5.5% disappear."

Swiss glaciers suffer 'disastrous' year of ice loss
Scientists say such rapid melting is no longer surprising given the pace of climate change.

The US Senate finds that the fossil fuel industry received $190 billion in tax breaks and subsidies from the Trump regime in exchange for campaign donations. The deregulation and subsidies have increased both energy costs for Americans and the damage from climate change and air and water pollution.

So basically, the proposed EU ETS changes will result in a massive increase in emissions and barely any so-called "positive" impacts for industry. It even, quote: "the European Commission's proposals make other forms of support to the industry less effective." @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu

Climate Action @climateaction.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
"As a result of the additional emission allowances, companies will invest less in emission reduction. According to this analysis, the proposed changes will therefore lead to a total increase in emissions of 33 percent within the EU ETS, amounting to an extra 2.9 gigatonnes of CO₂ by 2050."
