The people in the poll are uneducated & misguided. Or the question was worded in a skewed way. Who did they ask, the Federal employees 45 is holding hostage with his temper tantrum distraction-tactic shutdown?

$10? I just spent $1000 just trying to get a light to turn off on my car

climatehoax

That's because too much of it is made up and it's just libs trying to get funding for their fake causes and if they cant get it from the gov. they get it from gullible people. *There has always been climate change! Duh!

Im not

That's bc 9 out of those 10 dollars will go to politicians pockets you know who they are the ones who get paid during government shutdown

That money can easily come from wealthy corporations and billionaires who are sitting on piles of cash. Also the cause of climate change is largely on the corporations dumping pollution into our air.

Well who do we make rich now. Does Al Gore need more money?

Even those who believe in man-made climate change want someone else to lay to solve it...

Too Many 'Can't' Afford to Pay the $10!

Climate change from corporate and government failed policy, taxing the people for failed government policy is why the media is a joke like trump

Make it a mandatory tax. Our taxes pay for a lot of stupid junk and this is vital

Because we don’t trust the government with our money. It’s abundantly clear the current house is a joke and the government can’t act like adults so no ones going to give them anything. lol and some don’t have the extra 10 to give. But they don’t care about that.

they dont need more money just different laws regulations and penalties

The media pushes climate change and smirking racist, white kids.

Ah so when rubber meets the road, the majority doesn't really buy the consensus 'science' on climate change.

1st. Depends. How much are the rich paying for it vs people like me? 2nd. Why the fuck should people like me pay for it when it’s the rich corporations who lobby against fixing it. Who cause it? Tax them. Btw I would pay the money.

We know Globalist BS when we see it.

They pay daily for lunch at Death Donald’s ...instead🤪. 🍟 🍔.

No one asked me so I'll tell you using Pelosi's favorite word, NO

Manufactured crisis.

I reuse plastic containers, don't ask for plastic straws, recycle fabrics, never smoked ( so don't pollute air), walkabout usually ( no fossilfeuls), don't leave trash at beach. I am doing my part. No guilt. Gloria

Because they know it’s BS

Not me

Because they don’t believe the hype deep down. We all have a subconscious detector for falsehoods. The data fabrication, temperature data alterations... we all know there’s something not quite on the up and up.

Maybe it's because there's an EMBARRASSING amount of waste at the US federal level. Public has zero confidence in our politicians. Yet we're going along for the ride.

US Gov can’t even keep the doors open. Why give more money to two parties that act like kids on a play ground! How much is NBC contributing? Per person?

I would. If I were sure it wasn't going to a shill corporation, but an audited agency.

Make it a federal tax.

America already has the lowest emissions. Talk to China and India.

$10 times 300 M = $3 B $3 B times 12 = $36 B $36 Billions per year for the climate change lunatics 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 AOC might be upset

Now, how many would pay $10 a month to make China and India meet our environmental standards?

Just guessing Geology, Oceanography & Meteorology were not popular areas of study! Climate change is inevitable!

Because man has zero to do with the climate. Just a way to get money and control from everyone everywhere.

Leftists are all talk. As long as the other guy has to pay or sacrifice they think it’s great. But if they have to cough up themselves they don’t like it. Leftwing extremists are phonies.

Probably because most people are well researched enough to know a) almost none of the money goes to actual response, and b) money isn't going to fix climate change. All funds go to Gov spending, little makes it to green objectives. FactsMatter

But that Netflix account must be up to date tho

Not surprising, most people don't know what to do and don't think anyone else knows either. Businesses do what makes money and what consumers want. Consumers buy without knowing where their products come from because businesses hide that. Biggest changes can happen by business.

Well for starters it doesn’t matter what we do if China and India doesn’t do better. Second, I wouldn’t care if that ten bucks went to good use but we all know it would end up in some politicians pocket.

That's because people only pretend to believe it.

People already feel overtaxed and are living paycheck to paycheck... Besides that, the whole Climate Change / Carbon Tax is just a money grab scheme (selling / trading the rights to emit carbon dioxide)...

Why should we pay when China is the leader of pollution.

Even if they only have 12 years to live?

$10 is gas money right now. TrumpShutdown

I won’t pay a dime if y’all gonna blame climate change on regular people go ef yallselves! Regular people don’t create the pollution that contributes to climate change, corporations do. Yea we buy cars wtf else are we supposed to do? Ride a bike with a family of 4?

I’d pay it forward for my kids, not a guestion but not to the government...

Id pay 20

Yknow the hilarious part? They really do think climate change of the entire planet revolves around petty partisan conspiracies in their own country. 🤣

There are only two forces that unite men: fear and interest. - Napoleon Bonaparte

I'm going to burn a log😒

I’ll pay $100

Remeber when Americans were synonymous with a great nation?

Guess how much a month we pay to cause it and the death to humanity or at least hardships.

Most Americans are intelligent and know that 'climate change slogan' is a hoax to enrich politicians' donors and contractors. People see first hand that the climate changes every day, every year.

Barring a recession, THIS will decide 2020

Why is this on us? Why don’t the big polluters pick up the tab? Last time I checked I don’t own an oil refinery.

I think you may have surveyed the hard core right only

Oh BS! Who'd you poll n how many? This can't be right.😨

No shit. Why not just tax every Chinese product a 'climate change' tax and call it a day?

Odd. Our personal efforts to reduce our carbon footprint have paid for themselves with interest.

China is almost 70% coal powered still, and won't commit to lower emissions for 20 years. They already produce more carbon than the US and EU combined. If you want to get serious about CC the solution is moving manufacturing back to cleaner producers in the West.

I would, Ive not ever seen a survey asking that.

That is because most Americans know a scam when they see one.

If you guarantee that the 10 bucks will make a HUGE difference I might, but it wont like Red Cross it will go 90% to admins. & 10% to the problem which will never get solved. Same with NATO & UN cash cows for the globalist but do little to solve problems.

Like a carbon tax?

Bunch of frauds. That’s why. When asked too if they’d pay more taxes for “free” healthcare something like 27% said they would. Easy to steal money from someone else. Put up or shut up.

Smart people!

That is because it gets wasted on crap. Obama actually had it right. Massive solar infrastructure. Then cheap strong electric vehicles..ta da

Depends how you phrase it. Many Americans pay more than that to buy solar panels and other energy-efficient equipment. How much has been spent switching to LED bulbs alone?

How do You fight Sun activity for 10$?

We're fucked.

If it comes with free Netflix maybe.

That's because the Earth actually cooled in 2018.

AOC

Let the ones touting climate change but all the while jetting around pay for it, just sayin.

How stupid can you be? If we make the changes to industry to lessen our chemical output, industry will trickle down their costs to us anyway. That’s the only “TRICKLE DOWN” that actually happens

What a bunch of poppycock! U can't fight 😂 something normal in nature like the change in climate, MORONS! That has been occurring in nature since PLANET Earth was formed millions of years ago! Human activity has almost zero (.005%) influence on the climate! The scare is a $SCAM!

Pay day too pay day

They're not warming up to it.

Not even democrats?

No not Really! Only when we have No money coming in.. .. So no funding going out🤔!!!!

Why would we if we only have 12 years left?

Why not us tax payers pay 20 dollars a month a get the wall built instead . Give the democrats a pay decrease since they are not interested in protecting us citizens. They need to stand with realDonaldTrump on this. 🇺🇸

Could solve that with a gas tax of $.10 per gallon.

I think a quarter of our money is enough!! Jeez!!

If a salesman showed up to your house and told you to pay $10 to prevent the sky falling, I probably wouldn't either

Wtf

Not necessarily unwilling to pay, unwilling to commit ! Sometimes 20, 20$ makes all the difference between checks! Understand why we the people don’t feel represented!!! Elected Officials are out of touch!? On the Real! Help!!

8 billion dollar wall perhaps

That's because they already are paying extra $$$ for everything plastic or paper!!!

Where in the survey does it say anything about $10? It says 57% would pay $1 and 23% would pay $40.

But that DOESN’T MATTER because we intend to make them pay ANYWAY; People don’t know what is good for them; THATS why we need big govt so everybody can be forced to do the right thing in unison.

Well, then they’re sure not willing to spend $2,300 per year providing housing, education, healthcare, etc. for illegal immigrants.

I do.

I wasn’t asked this question.

You damned right ,just a bunch of lame brains trying to make capital on mother nature, man people are stupid buying into this bullshit

fakenewsNBC

Climate change is a hoax

Why bother ? AOC says the world will end in 12 years anyway. LOL

Very sensible. You might as sell flush $10 down the toilet. The climate is going to change, as it has done for the last 3 billion years, anyway. Not even the self centered virtue signalling carbon cult can do anything about it.

Was the survey administered in a Nestle plant?

Climate change! The new religion.

I refuse to believe that. Surveys are easy to flip either way you want them.

That’s bc the corp exported all their good paying jobs to China to avoid labor and environmental regulations. Maybe we could save the planet by ending trade with countries who don’t have our environmental standards so we get our jobs back and cut CO2 in other countries too

Tax the corporations that cause most of the CO pollution until they curb their emissions and ban single-use plastics.

That's why we can't rely on individuals to stop this crisis. We need to hold industry and government accountable.

Because the companies that are harming it should pay

How about end the geoengineering first? That would be a great start.

I’ve found I detest some things about some fellow countrymen Americans in the last two years.

I have no problem paying that amount. Pay now or suffer later 🤪

Lol

Like it would go to climate change ?!?! C’mon. It’s the US government. 😆😆😆

Believe.

Sigh.

Tax the corporations who cause most of the CO pollution and ban single-use plastics.

But they'll pay $10/mo to watch the same three shows on Netflix. What. 😂

Their debt level is high and they are living paycheck to paycheck.

How Wealthy Americans Like Jack Benny Avoided Paying a 70% Tax RateNew York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent call for a top income-tax rate of 70% harks back to an era when the top rate was that much or more—and many high earners of the day, like Jack Benny and Ronald Reagan, avoided paying top rates with some creative maneuvers. And I hear the Sun is really really Hot! Why not Bloomberg, Bezos,Zuckerberg etc, etc etc. They avoided paying the 70% rate like rich people today avoid paying 38% today -- you still start from a higher baseline.
