Abstract: The goals of the present analysis include 1) establishing the relationship between political party and climate change belief/concern, and 2) determining whether there is a relationship between climate change belief/concern and Trump climate policy approval. Although the relationship between party and climate change has been thoroughly studied already, it is necessary to show where those who believe in climate change lie on the political spectrum in this analysis. However, the main goal of this study will be to investigate whether individuals who support Trump’s climate policy are more likely to not believe in global warming or view it as a threat.
