The Forward Party has released the latest findings from its Controlling What You Can series, focusing on environmental and climate policy. The party found significant dissatisfaction among respondents with how the United States is currently addressing environmental concerns.
The Forward Party first told supporters earlier this month that it would be gathering feedback on “top-polling issues among independents” to help shape future party policy. Data for the series has been collected through a combination of grassroots polling on social media and direct member comments. The first installment in the series focused on healthcare, with the party announcing it would begin soliciting feedback on environmental policy this past weekend.
Results shared Thursday, March 28, show that respondents overwhelmingly supported increased government action to protect natural resources, framing environmental protection as a moral responsibility. The party noted a “vast majority” of its supporters are at least somewhat dissatisfied with how the country is handling environmental issues, with a plurality expressing strong dissatisfaction.
“There was a broad agreement in the comments you all submitted that the government can and must do a better job—that we have a moral imperative to safeguard the environment to ensure that younger generations will still have a world like the one we grew up in,” the party stated.
An X poll conducted by the party with 839 participants found that responses primarily focused on clean water and renewable energy as key objectives. According to results, 47.7% of respondents identified clean water as the top priority, while 39.5% pointed to renewable energy as the second most pressing concern. Less than 10% expressed support for either emission standards (6.7%) or electric vehicles (6.2%). Supporters also expressed frustration over general political gridlock, wanting leadership that prioritizes long-term solutions over the influence of donor interests.
The party added that “nearly all” respondents support the United States taking a global leadership role in advancing clean energy solutions. Additionally, the party stated that many favored transformative policies over incremental changes and called for leadership that fosters international cooperation in addressing environmental challenges.
“The party found significant dissatisfaction among respondents with how the United States is currently addressing environmental concerns.”
Fair enough. Given how much money is being wasted on the unscientific “anthropogenic climate change” hoax, I’d be “significantly dissatisfied” too.
“According to findings released Thursday, respondents overwhelmingly supported increased government action to protect natural resources, framing environmental protection as a moral responsibility.”
This on the other hand, not so much. Now the obvious question is whether these “findings” say more about the way survey questions were asked [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GSKwf4AIlI], about the bias towards either ignorance or dishonesty among the closed pool of respondents (i.e. active Backward Party members), or about way the data was reduced and analyzed (and about those processing the data)…
“to ensure that younger generations will still have a world like the one we grew up in”
The world you grew up in can’t be all that worth preserving, or else you wouldn’t have turned out a climate clown in the Backward Party… U+1F60F
“47.7% of respondents identified clean water as the top priority […] Less than 10% expressed support for either emission standards (6.7%) or electric vehicles (6.2%).”
Well, I guess these can be called a small silver linings – at least compared to the 39.5% completely out of touch with reality.
“The party added that ‘nearly all’ respondents support the United States taking a global leadership role in advancing clean energy solutions.”
Yeah, that’s been tried before. Repeatedly. It always ends up with the largest polluters – actual polluters, not producers of carbon-dioxide, water vapor or methane – whether they be the PRC and India or far-left western elites, not being held accountable, while farmers, ranchers, hunters and fishermen have their livelihoods destroyed; scientists get defunded, deplatformed, canceled, silenced, censored and demonized; and consumers and taxpayers are robbed blind – all in the name of “anthropogenic climate change”
So unless you are suggesting that the US begin wars with countries over their failure to fall into lockstep with whatever US climate policy happens to be at any given moment, come up with something that hasn’t been tried and failed ad nauseam for over half a century at this points. And if that is what you are suggesting, then firstly: what the hell is wrong with you?; but second: try voicing that explicitly and see how fast the Backward Party ceases to exist.
“many favored transformative policies over incremental changes and called for leadership that fosters international cooperation in addressing environmental challenges.”
Oh goody, even more globalism – just what we needed.
