For analysis on climate policy, as well as the latest indictment of former President

Trump, we turn now to Brooks and K-PART, that is, New York Times columnist David Brooks

and Jonathan K-PART, associate editor for The Washington Post.

David, Jonathan.

Good to see you both.

All right.

I want to revisit a quick look at Williams report there, because one number really stuck

out to me, and I want to get your take on it.

When Americans are asked about whether or not climate change is a major threat, overall

about 56 percent say yes it is, but when you break it down into partisan lines here, this

is among Republicans, only 28 percent.

Think it's a major threat, 37, say it's a minor threat, 33, don't believe it's a threat

at all.

David, there's a little bit of a chicken and egg argument here, Republican candidates

aren't talking about it because people don't think it's a threat, but if they talked

about it more, would people think it's a threat?

I think so.

I'm old enough to go back to John McCain and Lindsey Graham 20 years ago who proposed

a big climate change bill, back then you had Republicans as Democrats, both with climate

change proposals.

Back then there was about a 20 point gap between Democratic views of climate change and

Republican.
