GOP sharply divided over accepting climate science

The fact that Democrats and Republicans in recent years have taken wildly divergent views on the value of science is not new, but it’s worth appreciating the extent to which the divide actually cuts three ways, not two.

A new report from the Pew Research Center found that the divide within the Republican Party is much greater than the divide between the GOP and Democrats.

Two-thirds of Americans (67%) say there is solid evidence that the earth has been getting warmer over the last few decades, a figure that has changed little in the past few years. While partisan differences over climate change remain substantial, Republicans face greater internal divisions over this issue than do Democrats.

Just 25% of Tea Party Republicans say there is solid evidence of global warming, compared with 61% of non-Tea Party Republicans.
