Younger Republicans disagree with their older partisan counterparts on the extent to which climate change is already affecting the world. According to the survey, about 45 percent of younger Republican voters say they see some of the effects of global climate change in their communities, whereas only a third of older GOP voters feel the same way. "There is a common wisdom out there that younger people care more about climate change than older people." That gap between younger and older GOP voters, however, exists when it comes to the causes and consequences of climate change. But the rift narrows when GOP voters are asked what to do about global warming, Pew found.
