These results reflect climate scientist Roger Pielke's 2010 notion of "The iron law of climate policy." Pielke noted that support for reducing greenhouse emissions is limited by the amount of sacrifice demanded.
"People will pay some amount for climate goals," he noted, "But only so much." At $80 a year per household, he suggested, polls found most people would support climate measures but raise it to $770 annually and support drops below ten percent.
In reality, most events, like California's wildfires, linked by the climate industry to greenhouse gases, may have more than one cause; in this case, green policies, notably on clearing brush, may have been more responsible than the climate, and also for rising emissions.
The reality remains, as the UN Panel on Climate Change admits, "We are dealing with a non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states may not be entirely possible."
Such policies may do little to address the actual climate.
To win public support, environmentalists should create a positive agenda placing more emphasis on new technologies, while adjusting to whatever changes the climate may have for us.
Rejecting any "Middle ground," backers of programs like the Green New Deal may find their constituency limited to brainwashed middle schoolers, the gentry rich, green energy profiteers and the mindless celebrity universe.
