A new analysis
by the pew research center shows
that the two camps of voters are worlds apart when it comes to climate
change and that the divide extends across every aspect of the debate. It
starts with voters’ overall sentiments toward climate change as an issue—among
registered voters, 56 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters say they care a
great deal about the issue, while only 15 percent of Donald Trump supporters
say the same.
The
earth is warming—70 percent of Clinton supporters say it’s because of human
activity, while 77 percent of trump supporters say it’s either because of
natural patterns or there is no solid evidence the earth is even warming—they
can’t even seem to agree on any actions that could be taken to try to mitigate
climate change.
Below are data from
the pew research center......
The data are in line with what Trump puts out there
about his own climate change sentiments. Though he claims it was a joke, Trump
has tweeted that the entire concept of climate change is a hoax, saying, “The
concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make
U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”
