We the People, Want Climate Action Now
Looking at the actions of the US federal government, you’d be forgiven for letting your climate optimism fade. But even as this administration works to unwind years of hard-won progress, there’s hope on the horizon. And that hope is you.
You want climate action. And chances are, so do your friends, colleagues, and almost everyone you know.
From the recent, historic global climate strikes to the increase in major media coverage of this crisis, the incredible number of people calling out for climate action is quickly becoming impossible to ignore… or deny.
And recent public-opinion polling conducted by several major organizations, including Climate Nexus, in partnership with Yale and George Mason Universities, and CBS News, shows majorities – in some cases overwhelming majorities – of Americans know our climate is changing.
There’s more. Critically, these majorities also support real solutions like expanding renewable energy, and believe the government should be working harder to fight the climate crisis.
Below, we’ve assembled some highlights from these incredible polls to show just how much the tide of public opinion has turned. And we’ve got news for those still denying a crisis playing out now before our very eyes and standing in the way of solutions – it isn’t going back.
We know the climate crisis is a threat. We know that action is the answer. And we’re ready to stand up for a safe, sustainable future for the planet.

Take the Next Step
All of this great news isn’t to say that we can relax or that everything will work itself out as public attitudes continue to move in the right direction. Not by a longshot.
What we’re saying is, we’re in this fight because we know we can (and must and will) win it. And more and more, the numbers back us up.
But to change everything, we need everyone.
