“The poll gives us additional evidence that more Republicans than Democrats questionclimate science. About 79 percent of Democrats and just 38 percent of Republicansbelieve the earth is warming. Among Republicans who identify with the Tea Party, just23 percent say there is solid evidence of climate change.

What does this tell us? Well, for one, it shows that Republicans have been successful inraising doubts about climate science. And it shows that climate change has becomeincreasingly politicized. For the vast majority of Republicans, and for even more TeaPartiers, climate skepticism has become a key component of their political identity.”
