I've got a new paper out today with @timlapira.bsky.social and @salilb.bsky.social in ERC showing that party ID strongly structures political elites' beliefs about climate change. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2515-7620/ae56d7

We show near-unanimous agreement among the Democratic elite on the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring, primarily caused by humans, and widely recognized by scientists.

In contrast, substantial minorities of Republican elites reject these scientific facts, with fewer than half affirming anthropogenic climate change and nearly one-third endorsing a climate-related conspiracy.

Paper looks good, sadly unsurprising, but good infromation. consistent with UNH's Larry Hamilton (@ichiloe.bsky.social) surveys of NH residents:

The science was never going to be convincing for most. People are petulant when you tell them they have to change. Today we can make the argument that wind/solar/batteries are simply cheaper. Same reason EV’s took off in CA earlier. Our gas is more expensive, so the math works.
