That author don’t know what he’s talking about. It’s wishful thinking.

In 2020, 67% of voters rated climate change as “somewhat important” or “very important,” up from 62% in 2016. Of these voters rating climate change as important, 77% supported Biden in 2020, up from 69% who supported Hillary Clinton in 2016. This suggests that climate change opinion has been providing the Democrats with a growing electoral advantage.

Um, no, that's exactly backwards. It suggests that the Democrats have a growing electoral advantage, and therefore more people rate climate change as important.

Maybe, but not in the way you think. I foresee more laws around protesting climate change. For example, what happens when an ambulance needs to get a dying patient to an ER and they are delayed by these morons? For now, they often die, despite the excuses that they let "blue lights" through. I foresee more protestors getting run over and none of this will seriously impact the climate in any meaningful way.
