...can't see the looming threat in front of their noses.

Three-quarters of Republicans think economy is priority over climate ' poll

Survey finds 53% of Americans think addressing climate crisis should be given priority but 72% of Republicans say otherwise

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/03/re...

But, the NPR poll showed, the percentage of Republicans who think the economy should be given priority regardless is up 13 points since 2018.

More than half of respondents (56%) said climate change was a major threat. More than two-thirds of Republicans (70%) said it was a minor threat or no threat at all. Among Republicans, 43% said climate change would have no serious impact on their communities.

"...no serious impact on their communities."

Maybe in the short term and maybe that's all they care about.
