Climate Policy Institute:The past, present and future of US climate policy in light of the presidential election
The issue of climate and environmental protection in the United States is an even more polarised political issue than in Europe. Republicans often refer to the Democrats as climate alarmists who are destroying the economy, while the latter often see the former as uninformed climate deniers. Moreover, this antagonism does not only permeate campaign communications, but also appears at the highest level of the hierarchy, i.e. at the presidential and presidential candidate level.
