"A stark political divide on the science still exists, however: while 86% of Democrats say climate change is happening, just 52% of Republicans concur." As time goes on, since Republicans are the older party and Democrats the younger, we should see concerns rising ever-more as demographics shift, irregardless of the worsening climate catastrophe we find ourselves in. Even if Democrats are concerned, how much more are they willing to do? Washington state voted down its carbon tax initiative twice. America's emissions are rising, transport emissions are rising, I doubt average Democrats do that much to tackle their own emissions. Most people will stay "concerned" while they eat their burgers and drive their inefficient vehicles alone and then fly around the world for vacation.
