The U.S. electorate wants the government to do more to combat climate change. GOP candidates barely mentioned it at the first debate on Wednesday.
At the first Republican presidential debate on Wednesday, only one candidate, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, said that climate change was real. And not one candidate said they believed human activity was causing climate change.
But Republican leadership — and aspiring Republican leadership — still resist endorsing government action to tackle climate risks. Sixty-two percent of people in the U.S. say the federal government isn't doing enough to reduce climate change, according to a poll last year from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Increasingly dry and windy conditions in Hawaii contributed to the deadliest wildfire in modern U.S. history earlier this month.
