Even Republicans at odds with Trump's climate posture, poll finds

But many people still don't agree with the consensus science that shows humans are the dominant cause of climate change

Americans, including Republicans, are becoming more convinced that climate change is causing extreme weather and sea-level rise, according to a new poll from Monmouth University.

Nearly two-thirds of Republicans, 64%, now think climate change is happening, compared to 49% three years ago. And more of the general population, 78% compared to 70% three years ago, acknowledge climate change.
