How Big Oil Convinced 11 Million Climate Voters To Stay Home

More than 11 million environmentalists did not vote on Election Day in 2024. In 4 key battleground states, President Trump won by fewer than 400,000 votes combined, so 11 million environmental voters could've swung the election! In a conversation with Emmy Award-winning meteorologist Chase Cain, Environmental Voter Project Founder and Executive Director Nathaniel Stinnett explores why so many environmentalists stay home on Election Day and how EVP is working to change that. Drawing on behavioral science and voter turnout research, Nathaniel discusses EVP's strategies for identifying and mobilizing unlikely environmental voters, the fossil fuel industry's influence on how Americans think about climate action, why politicians have more to gain by talking about climate change, and the importance of turning environmental concern into consistent political participation.
