Helene and Milton Just Did $200 Billion in Damage. These Places Want More Climate Action From Local Politicians

A survey from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication indicates that 56.6% of Americans are urging their local officials to increase efforts addressing global warming.

D.C. residents express the strongest demand for local climate action, with 70.5% wanting more engagement from their officials to combat climate change.

While wealthier areas often voice climate concerns, a notable trend shows that poorer counties in Alabama and Mississippi rank among the top 50 demanding more local action.
