"arguing about the weather ain't one of them." It is if one woke up in Iowa this morning Cedar Rapids flood evacuation decision coming Saturday morning Trump Tests Climate Change Denial Against Public Opinion, Real-World Impacts Large majorities in key swing states want to regulate carbon dioxide. While there may be little question about which presidential candidate states like Texas and California will support, Trump’s climate denial is at odds with public opinion in the swing states that will decide the outcome of the election. In Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, at least 75 percent of surveyed adults support regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant. Over 60 percent of respondents in those same states said that global warming will harm future generations. In the swing state of Florida, the disconnect between Mr. Trump’s view and public opinion is particularly pronounced. According to analysis from the Center for American Progress, since 2005, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has spent more than $2.2 billion in Florida due to hurricanes. With the number of severe hurricanes increasing and the increasing frequency of severe hurricanes attributed in part to climate change, this issue appears to resonate within the state. In a major increase from the past, polling from earlier this year show that more than 80 percent of residents of peninsular Florida are concerned about climate change and more than 60 percent of Floridians believe the federal government is responsible for dealing with climate change. thinkprogress.org
