Abstract
The rise of climate change on the global political agenda coincided with the growth of partisan polarization in US politics and, in many ways, their trajectories mirror one another. When the climate crisis first began to attract political attention 30 years ago, Republicans and Democrats responded with similar levels of interest and concern. Today, partisan division overwhelms all other aspects of climate-change politics and environmental politics more broadly (Egan, Konisky, and Mullin 2022; Egan and Mullin 2017).
气候变化在全球政治议程上的崛起,与美国政治中党派分化的加剧不谋而合,在许多方面,它们的轨迹是相互映照的。30年前,当气候危机首次引起政治关注时,共和党人和民主党人的反应是同样的兴趣和担忧。今天,党派分歧压倒了气候变化政治和环境政治的所有其他方面(Egan, Konisky, and Mullin, 2022;Egan and Mullin 2017)。
