    That’s easy to answer. It is because American politicians work of their lobbyists, not their constituents.

      Some certainly do…but not all, and you can overcome the lobbyist-favoring bias if something gets clear press coverage. It’s a big deal that the press very rarely explains that the bulk of the problem is due to fossil fuel burning.

        The same people that own the lobbyist also own mainstream media soooo …

        It’s just the expected behavior of capitalism.

        Most media serves lobbyists coz advertising money and business relationships. They anyway wouldn’t want to do explainers coz that wouldn’t get views
