Harvard Study Finds Wind Turbines Will Cause More Warming Than Emissions Reductions Would Avert

A few weeks ago, we wrote about how Gallup polling found 66 percent of Americans think the environment is getting worse despite the fact that air quality in the United States has improved dramatically since the 1970’s. This improvement was due in large part to the Clean Air Act and its subsequent amendments, as a reader noted.
Another commenter stated that Democrats’ and Independents’ views of the environment likely shift when Republicans hold the White House because they view the environment as inextricably linked to climate, while Republicans don’t think about climate at all.
The Gallup data appear to support this claim for Democrats and Republicans. Climate change was the top environmental concern for Democrats, with 72 percent worrying about it, while climate change ranked last for Republicans, with only 6 percent worrying about this issue.
Independents, for their part, care about climate, but less so than other environmental issues like having access to clean drinking water, pollution in lakes and rivers, and air pollution.
