Describe the differences between the Republican and Democratic positions on the issue of climate change.

Explanation:Each January, Pew Research Center asks Americans about which issues they think should be top priorities for the president and Congress. In Pew’s January 2019 survey, partisans were farther apart in their views on how much priority should be accorded climate change and, separately, the environment than they were on any of the other 18 issues asked about in the survey. Sixty-seven percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said dealing with global climate change should be a top priority, compared to 21% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents–a 46-point gap. On the environment, the gap between partisans was 43 points. Seventy-four percent of Democrats said protecting the environment should be a top priority; 31% of Republicans said the same. Divisions on the importance of these two issues were larger than they were on other issues such as strengthening the military (34-point gap between Republicans and Democrats saying it should be a top priority) and dealing with the issue of immigration (28-point gap). In December 2018, Fox News asked registered voters how concerned they were about a different set of issues, and that survey also found that partisans differed more on climate change than on 10 other issues, with 84% of Democrats compared to 41% of Republicans saying they were “extremely” or “very” concerned about it.
