Poll - +/- 60% Of Louisiana Voters Want Climate Action (From The Republicans They Keep Electing)

[hatrack]

About 59% of Louisiana voters believe it is at least somewhat important for their representatives in Congress and the Legislature to address climate change, a new poll indicates. 

The same poll of likely voters found most saying they would be willing to pay more for lower-carbon products manufactured in the U.S. and support tariffs on higher-carbon products from abroad, which theoretically could boost efforts to lower carbon emissions by Louisiana’s industrial sector. 

“As with other polls we’ve seen, there is a divide among Democrats and Republicans in terms of prioritizing climate action,” writes pollster John Couvillon. “What was notable is that even among Republicans who do not believe in climate change, support for fees/tariffs on pollution was overwhelming.”

Americans for Carbon Dividends, led by a former senior director of the National Association of Manufacturers, commissioned the poll.

1. I guess you forgot the governor who is highest in the state and a great democratic politician

3. Compared to 2 GQP US senators and 5 GQP US House members out of 6 . . .

. . . and a state legislature where Republicans hold a 2-1 advantage in both chambers.

I'd say Edwards is the exception that proves the rule.

2. I lived in Louisiana in the '80s

So many people who've survived on the edge of disaster since it is was settled. Southern Louisiana and parts of Florida are the first places in the South that we'll lose to rising waters.

It's a crying shame that more LA residents don't prioritize it. It's a matter of decades before Grand Isle goes under for good. The Gulf will reclaim it.
