This comes as a Democratic think tank, the Searchlight Institute, advised the party to stop mentioning climate change because it is not a priority for voters. Similarly, the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group that previously focused on global warming, has broadened its mission to concentrate on opposing the Republican president."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"The change in focus is evident in political campaigns. In the Massachusetts Democratic Senate primary, incumbent Ed Markey is concentrating on issues other than climate change. Veteran Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh noted that while Markey previously spoke frequently about the Green New Deal, the current focus is on who is best positioned to 'fight'."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"Despite the reduced emphasis in political discourse, scientists predict that 2026 could be the hottest year on record, with a strengthening El Nino expected to drive global temperatures.

These outlets noted that concerns such as affordability, US support for Israel, and confronting Trump have overshadowed climate change.","The term \"climate hushing\" was used to describe this shift, with some Democratic groups suggesting avoiding the topic. The Searchlight Institute, a Democratic think tank, reportedly advised the party to stop mentioning climate change as it is not a voter priority.","Boston.com and My Mother Lode, which published full reports, included quotes from Charles Hughes, a college student and chair of the state's College Democrats chapter.
