American Support for Global Climate Policy
Recent surveys reveal that 70% of Americans strongly support global climate policies, despite the US officially withdrawing from the Paris Agreement under Trump's order.
Why This Matters
Climate change is a pressing global issue, with public policy and environmental advocacy engaging broad public interest and sparking activism and debates on social media.

I get what he's saying, but if we rely on local action, we are all screwed. This is a problem affecting the whole world, and we need whole countries working together to resolve it.
He is wrong. Industry accounts for over 80% of carbon dioxide and methane. Regulations must cap these emissions and make industry pay and change their ways or there is no hope.
A nation that dares fighting for our children's future, that is a strong nation.
Elect trump & nothing will get done on climate change!
I believe the climate is changing and that it's, in part, due to things humans are doing. I do think the solution, as much as a lot of lefties don't like it, is nuclear power.
As an American my fear is all the suffering that will happen as a result of the government "doing something" about climate change. Restricting what kind of cars we can drive...
Arnold eats meat, drives a hummer, uses steroids, has several houses, flies in jets, and screws our freedom, but wants you to hear him out.
