A recent surge in environmental concern among young Americans shows a growing number of Republicans who say they're worried human behavior and man-made pollution are damaging planet Earth.
The 2014 to 2019 rise in concerns about man-made pollution, greenhouse gases and their effect on the environment is most sizable among Republicans. The U.S. overall has seen an 8 percent increase from 61 to 69 percent over the past five years in people expressing climate change worries. The Glocalities survey also showed a 10 percentage increase among U.S. Republicans who reported trying"to live eco-consciously.
The release of the survey data comes as the Trump administration on Thursday proposed reversing restrictions on methane gas, the main component of natural gas, which scientists consider the second most significant contributor to climate change behind carbon dioxide. Accordingthe Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate federal tech requirements to repair and monitor methane leaks at pipeline or other energy facilities.
On Monday, Trump bragged"I know more about the environment than most people," before telling reporters at the G7 summit in France that jobs and the economy must take precedent.
