A new report shows that overwhelming majorities of urban ‘elites’ favor strict rationing to fight climate change and think there’s too much freedom in America.

In a new study, a staggering 77 percent of urban “elites”—defined as people with at least one post-graduate degree earning more than $150,000 a year and living in high-population density areas—said they favored strict rationing of energy, gas, and meat to fight the supposed ills of climate change.

The striking figure was revealed in a January study titled “Them vs. U.S.” prepared by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, based on a survey conducted by Rasmussen in September 2023.
