The majority of Americans, including a growing share of moderate Republicans, are dissatisfied with U.S. government efforts to curb global warming, researchers said on Monday.
In a survey by the Pew Research Center, a Washington-based non-partisan think-tank, two-thirds of Americans said U.S. President Donald Trump's administration was "doing too little” to reduce the effects of climate change. Since taking office, Trump has rolled backed Obama-era rules limiting planet-warming emissions from sectors of the economy such as electricity, transport, and oil and gas.
The Trump administration filed paperwork this month to pull the United States out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, while his opponents have championed a “Green New Deal” that seeks to slash U.S. emissions within a decade.
In the Pew survey, the proportion of people who said the government was taking too little action to tackle climate change was unchanged from a year ago - but unease among moderate Republicans grew significantly, noted the report.
The new survey, which polled more than 3,600 people last month, found that 65% of moderate or liberal Republicans said the federal government was not doing enough to reduce the effects of global warming, up from 53% in 2018.
A divide was also seen by age, with 52% of 18 to 38-year-old Republicans displeased with government climate action, compared with 41% of those from 38-54, and 31% of those aged 55 or above. Among Republicans, 46% of women thought the government was doing too little, compared with 34% of men.

I smell BS.
What is a liberal Republican?
“Liberal Republican”?
WTF!
I certainly am upset that this deficit buried Goobermint is attempting to change the weather by spending tax money on it.
I know I am dissatisfied with the government’s efforts to curb globull warming. Spending even one dime and creating even one regulation is too much to spend on a hoax whose sole purpose is to further socialism.
I guess we could nuke China and maybe India, since anything less is meaningless, if they really want to SAVE THE PLANET.
That is, the Bishop Romney wing of the Rs.
Boo chit
I know almost zero Republicans who believe in Globull waining...
This is the final straw! Trump’s finally done it. It’s over! OrangeMan’s done.
They have objective facts covering change since Trump was inaugurated?
Where are those?
Sorry, Reuters, good try but in the last 2 years climate change as a concern polls at the bottom of the list in the US right behind concerns of catching a case of the clap from brushing your teeth too much.
If you really want to cut emissions we would have to get China and India to stop polluting.
Good luck with that.
What a crock of sh!t. But what can one expect from “Der Sturmer?”
Isn’t PEW funded partly by Soros?
Think Snowe, Collins, and Murkowski.
In my best 
Surely you speak in jest oh travelling clown.
