It might not seem like it if you live under a broken political system that can ignore what people want and so that doesn't translate into action.

The data says climate change is not broadly popular in the US. If it was, people (broadly speaking) would not have tripped over themselves buying bigger and higher vehicles and bigger houses in further flung suburbs. Not to mention the fierce political opposition to higher fossil fuel prices, which would be the easiest and most direct mechanism to combat carbon emissions.
