New polling shows most Americans agree climate change is happening and the government has a role in combatting it. NPR’s Jeff Brady reports Democrats are more likely to say that, but there’s also a divide between older and younger Republicans.

As President Trump rolls back former President Biden’s climate change policies, this poll shows Republicans under 45 years old are more likely than older Republicans to believe the climate is changing because of human activity. Younger Republicans are more likely to support clean energy, electric car incentives and funding to help people adapt to climate change.
The poll is from the Associated Press, NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Energy Policy Institute at University of Chicago.
Across the population, the poll shows 37 percent of Americans will consider buying an electric car, but many say price is a barrier. And 60 percent of Americans say the U-S should play a bigger role in global climate efforts.
