Nearly 70 percent of voters concerns about Trump administration's latest climate change report

Two-thirds of voters are concerned about a recent federal government report warning of the consequences that climate change could have on the United States.

The report warns that current responses to climate change aren’t enough and that it could be an enormous threat to mankind, saying, "Global average temperature has increased by about 1.8 [degrees] from 1901 to 2016, and observational evidence does not support any credible natural explanations for this amount of warming. Instead, the evidence consistently points to human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse or heat-trapping gases, as the dominant cause.”

According to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll of nearly 2,000 registered voters, two-thirds have admitted the findings of the report have them ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ concerned.

However, Donald Trump doesn’t see it that way. When questioned about the report during an oval office interview with the Washington Post, he said, "People like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we’re not necessarily such believers. As to whether or not it’s man-made and whether or not the effects that you’re talking about are there, I don’t see it.”

Trump has been frequently skeptical of climate change, recently tweeting, "Brutal and Extended Cold Blast could shatter ALL RECORDS - Whatever happened to Global Warming?"
