Climate advocates want to solve their 'biggest problem' in the US: Turning out voters

In battleground states across the country, environmental activists like Dr. Emily Church are canvassing on behalf of an organization called the Environmental Voter Project in an effort to turn out people who care the most about climate change -- but who haven't shown up for past elections.

During a recent effort in Pittsburgh, Church, a biology professor who leads local canvasses for the project, recalled to ABC News how she used to lobby lawmakers directly to take action on climate change, but they told her voters don't care about the issue.

She said she's now trying to prove them wrong.

"The people who prioritize climate and the environment need to show up," Church said. "That's how we're going to get anything done."

The Environmental Voter Project, or EVP, is targeting very specific individuals: registered voters who list climate change as their No. 1 issue but who are unlikely to cast ballots in November's election based on their voting history.

"Our biggest problem in the climate movement right now [is] we don't have enough voting power," EVP founder and executive Nathaniel Stinnett said.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump, who has long questioned climate science, without evidence, has opposed Biden's clean energy policies and promised to roll them back -- arguing they are a drag on the economy and make the U.S. less competitive and independent.

Good grief. We have so many serious real problems in our nation right now. “Climate Change” is not one of them.

Exactly, if the climate change cult were really serious about their actions, they wouldn’t even be using electricity, heating, air conditioning or running water at all.

In keeping with their mindset, climate advocates should just make failing to vote a capital offense, summarily citizen enforced.

It'd solve the problem in one election.

“Climate” is the vehicle Democrats use to advance otherwise unpopular agendas that are always directly or indirectly related to socialism.

Dr. Emily Church: "The people who prioritize climate and the environment need to show up [to vote]. That's how we're going to get anything done."

She forgot to add "That's how we are going to reduce all Americans to penniless slaves and peons."

Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat

Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life

Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need more money or it gets severe

Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout™

“Let’s vote to make myself poorer, yay!”

Some questions to ask any cultists in your daily life:

“Does climate change cause droughts or floods? How can it cause 2 opposite things?”

“Why is the human untouched temperature of the planet considered ideal? Do the human unmolested climates on other planets look?”

“If the only people alive on earth tomorrow were climatologists, do you think they’d have any idea how the climate would trend? So how can they know now?”

Climate change has a bigger problem. It’s BS. I wish it were true. I’d do all I could to hasten climate change along.

Yeah, they want to turn out voters all right.

They want to turn them out of their jobs, their homes, their vehicles, their food, their clothing, their very lives.

Want to turn out voters for climate change activism? Simply tell them you’ll be taking away their air conditioning just as soon as possible - that’s the ticket!
