The Republican Party stands alone in climate denial | Dana Nuccitelli

Amid internal calls for climate action, a study finds that Republicans are the only climate-denying conservative party in the world

A paper published in the journal Politics and Policy by Sondre Bitstrand at the University of Bergen in Norway compared the climate positions of conservative political parties around the world. Bitstrand examined the platforms or manifestos of the conservative parties from the USA, UK, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Germany. He found that the US Republican Party stands alone in its rejection of the need to tackle climate change and efforts to become the party of climate supervillains.
