Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The White House announced Thursday that it is now aiming for the entire American economy to cut its net greenhouse gas emissions by 61-66% by 2035 relative to 2005 levels, and that these new "ambitious" targets will be submitted to the United Nations pursuant to the Paris climate accords.
31% : While the administration is touting the new goals as a demonstration of American "climate leadership," the targets are non-binding and will likely be ignored by Trump, according to The New York Times.
30% : The president-elect is likely to drop out of the accords again in his second term, though it remains to be seen whether Trump will try to make America's withdrawal more permanent.
25% : Trump pulled out of the Paris climate agreement during his first term, but the Biden administration reentered the deal almost immediately upon taking office in 2021.
