Science Gap: Dems, GOP Still Disagree on Global Warming
March 3, 2016 – 06:15 pm

Political ideology heavily affects how voters see a range of climate-related issues.More than 70 percent of Democrat-leaning voters, for example, say human activity is driving global warming – a fact overwhelmingly supported by scientific study. Among Republican-leaning voters, by contrast, just 27 percent believe climate change is being driven by human-generated carbon emissions instead of natural forces.

Similarly, Democrats are far more likely to back policies that support clean energy sources like wind and solar over conventional sources like oil, gas and coal. Three quarters of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters say the U.S. should prioritized renewable energy, whereas only 43 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters say the same.

The gaps are also generational: Older Americans more strongly support nuclear power and offshore oil drilling than younger voters.

Republicans and Democrats sharply disagree whether climate change is being driven by human activity – a fact overwhelmingly supported by science. "There are notable issues on which racial and generational differences are pronounced, " the study found. Overall, "Americans' political leanings are a strong factor in their views about issues such as climate change and energy policy."

Republicans and Democrats sharply disagree whether climate change is being driven by human activity – a fact overwhelmingly supported by science.

President Barack Obama has made addressing climate change a central part of his second term. Since unveiling his Climate Action Plan in June 2013, he has harnessed the Environmental Protection Agency, Energy Department, Transportation Department and even the Pentagon to rein in heat-trapping carbon emissions from vehicles, factories, military bases and power plants. Earlier this year, he pledged to slash U.S. carbon emissions by up to 28 percent from 2005 levels by 2025.

Conservative lawmakers and industry groups have vigorously opposed the initiatives, arguing they amount to federal overreach that will drive up prices, undercut the reliability of the electricity grid and hamper economic growth.

Why is global warming increasing?

Global warming is increasing due to the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We are continuously burning gasoline and adding to the pollution and there are not enough trees to filter the carbon dioxide for all the pollution we produce.
