Global warming and climate change will never be a top issue except among a small number of upper middle class white voters. It doesn't matter how important an issue is for the long term if it isn't a matter of daily concern to the average person.
If you really want to get people on board for pollution controls then you have to talk about real world daily issues that effect people right NOW, not 50 years from now in theory. Increased asthma rates, clean drinking water, cancer rates, and fish that don't turn you sterile are quality of life issues that people will actually care about.
