There’s a climate change generation gap: a recent poll found that two-thirds of 18-34-year-old adults say they are “inclined to vote for a political candidate who supports cutting greenhouse gas emissions” and support other environment-conserving measures, compared to just half of seniors.

There’s a climate change generation gap: a recent poll found that two-thirds of 18-34-year-old adults say they are “inclined to vote for a political candidate who supports cutting greenhouse gas emissions” and support other environment-conserving measures, compared to just half of seniors.
