As someone who lives in the North and experiences winter, snow, and cold temperatures every year, it is frankly appalling how many people here whine and complain about the cold and the snow. And I have increasingly come to the conclusion over the past couple of years that this irrational fear and/or hatred of cold weather is a HUGE reason why there is so little enthusiasm on the part of the electorate to take any action against climate change.
I hate to say it, but the average uninformed voter hears that the climate is warming, and thinks to themselves, "Sounds good to me! No more icy roads or shoveling snow!".
If Democrats really want the electorate to get behind them in terms of dealing with climate change, we have to instill in the American people an appreciation of winter, and snow, and cold weather. Because that appreciation is sadly lacking in way too many people.
People hate MN/Dakota cold, but they love the seasons, and climate change is killing the change of seasons (really the change I've noticed in just the past decade has been really depressing)

What it amounts to is that most Americans are ignorant or stupid.
