  • Among Republicans, 56% think climate policies usually hurt the U.S. economy. By contrast, 52% of Democrats say they usually help.

The Pew Research Center's article from December 9, 2024, titled "How Americans View Climate Change and Policies to Address the Issue," discusses the evolving attitudes of Americans towards climate change. It highlights that a significant majority of Americans now acknowledge that climate change is happening, with increasing recognition of its human causes. The report details public support for various climate policies, including renewable energy development, carbon pricing, and regulations on emissions. However, there are notable partisan divides, with Democrats showing much stronger support for aggressive climate action compared to Republicans. The article also explores demographic differences in climate concern, with younger adults, women, and those with higher education levels expressing greater worry about climate impacts. Additionally, it touches on the public's perception of the effectiveness of current climate policies and their willingness to make personal sacrifices to mitigate climate change.
