• •Two-thirds of Americans report being worried about the climate crisis, according to polling data cited by The Guardian
• •Public concern levels currently outpace the volume of mainstream media coverage dedicated to environmental issues
• •It remains uncertain how the Trump administration’s push for fossil fuel expansion will affect long-term legislative public support

Data indicates that two-thirds of Americans remain concerned about climate change, a figure that persists despite a recent pivot in national political discourse. While media attention has drifted away from the crisis, the president has maintained a steady campaign against existing environmental regulations to prioritize fossil fuel growth. There is a noticeable disconnect between sustained public worry and the diminished visibility of climate topics in current news cycles. Whether this grassroots concern can influence future policy remains to be seen as the administration accelerates its shift toward energy deregulation.
