A growing majority of U.S. Republicans, especially younger voters, are worried that human behavior is damaging the planet, according to a survey
AMSTERDAM - of global attitudes to the environment conducted by an Amsterdam-based polling agency.
Trump skipped a meeting on climate change during last weekend’s G7 summit in France and said he would not let “dreams” undermine U.S. dominance in fossil fuel production. “When looking deeper into the data it becomes clear that the highest rise in environmental concern is visible among younger Republicans,” said Glocalities pollster Martijn Lampert, who predicted that shifting views on the environment would influence the next U.S. election in 2020.
In the United States overall, 69% of people canvassed said they backed the statement about human beings harming the planet, up 8 percentage points.
