Broken down by party, it's:
Democrats: 84%
Republicans: 18%
I guess that means Republicanism is an emergency.
84% of Democrats now say climate change is a major threat to the country’s well-being, up from 58% in 2013. Views among Republicans have stayed about the same (27% in 2019 vs. 22% in 2013). https://t.co/oq1BirQtSV

If this bears out, wonder how long FL politicians can ignore the reality of #ClimateChange particularly its role in producing more powerful hurricanes. Is there a point where voters in FL (or TX) will turn on politicians who reject action to reduce that risk? They haven't yet. https://t.co/714GajW7Eq
