Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Renewable energy sources, particularly solar and wind, have become the most cost-effective means of electricity generation globally.
45% : It's no wonder even ExxonMobil has lobbied Trump to stay in the Paris Agreement.
44% : But without federal coordination, climate and transition efforts will be more fragmented and less effective.
40% : By stepping away, the U.S. also loses a critical opportunity to shape the global climate agenda, allowing others -- most notably China and the EU -- to fill the leadership vacuum.
26% : Once again, Donald Trump is pulling the United States out of the Paris Agreement, leaving the U.S. as the only major emitting nation not part of this critical treaty.
22% : Right now, Trump is fiddling as Los Angeles (and the world) burns.
