The American public strongly supported global climate policy for warming management, as PTI states. Approximately 70 percent of Americans showed a “strong and real” support of global climate policy.
This great support shows a significant contrast between the views of ordinary people and people in power.
This finding comes when US President Donald Trump pulled from the Paris agreement shortly after his inauguration on January 20, 2025. He claimed that the agreement did not reflect the value of the country or its contributions to the economic and environmental objectives.
70% of Americans responding support global climate policy
The survey was co -author of scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Research on the Climate in Germany. It has a sample size of more than 40,000 people from 20 countries, which represents about three quarters of global carbon emissions.
According to PTI, the second survey conducted in 2023 among 8,000 people in the US and the European Union, showed that respondents supported a fixed timeline for carbon prices, such as 90 USD for tons of carbon dioxide in 2030 and on its head 30 months per month.
“To what level, do you think public policies need to introduce climate change? 70% of US people have chosen a global level,” the authors wrote and informed the PTI.
Trump calls climate change “dear fraud”
Since the first possession of Trump as the US President in 2017, Trump has repeatedly indicated that he does not believe in climate change. He previously said that climate change is “mythical”, “non -existent” and “dear scam”, as the BBC states.
In addition to the withdrawal from the Paris agreement, which committed itself to the US and 187 other countries to maintain rising global temperatures below 2 ° C above the pre -industrial level, Trump has also taken a number of measures that caused criticism of environmentalists.
He replaced the clean energy of President Barack Obama, who would have limited coal and gas emissions of the power plant, with the available rule of pure energy that had weaker regulations, as stated by the BBC.
Otherwise, he tried to freeze the fuel efficiency standards stored on new vehicles and prevent the California from setting its own emission rules, the BBC said.
