This bar chart shows the percentage of Americans who would ask a global warming expert about climate change evidence, causes, impacts, or solutions across demographic and political groups. Democrats, people with a Bachelor’s degree or higher, and urban residents are more likely to ask about solutions to climate change. By contrast, Republicans, people with high school or less education, people who earn less than $50,000 annually, and rural residents are more likely to ask about evidence that it is happening.
