It’s been called both a Chinese hoax and the biggest problem facing humankind today. But as a new report shows, there are some aspects of climate change where Democrats and Republicans have found common ground.

While the two political parties have many opposing views on climate change, people across the political spectrum agree that climate scientists need to be given a larger role in policy decisions about climate issues, according to a survey of 1,500 adults in the U.S. by the Pew Research Center, a nonprofit think tank in Washington, D.C.

More than three-quarters of Democrats and most Republicans — 69% among moderate or liberal Republicans and 48% of conservative Republicans — say climate scientists should have a major role in policy decisions related to the climate, the report said. Few in either party say climate scientists should have no role in policy decisions. Outside the realm of climate, however, both Democrats and Republicans agree that scientists act in the public interest, the report said.

There’s broad support for solar and wind power, too. Fully 89% of Americans favor more solar panel farms, and just 9% oppose. A similarly large share supports more wind turbine farms (83% favor, 14% oppose), the report said. Some 83% of conservative Republicans favor more solar panel farms; and virtually all liberal Democrats (97%) favor it.

There were stark differences between the two major political parties, however. Some 36% of Americans are deeply concerned about climate issues, saying they personally care a great deal about the issue of global climate change. But this group is composed primarily of Democrats (72%), but roughly a quarter (24%) is Republican.

The different political parties also have wildly different views on the motivations of the scientific community. Some 70% of Democrats said they trust climate scientists a lot to give full and accurate information about the causes of climate change, compared with just 15% of conservative Republicans. Also, conservative Republicans are more inclined to say climate research findings are influenced by scientists’ desire to advance their careers (57%) or their own political leanings (54%) most of the time while smaller minorities of liberal Democrats say these influences occur most of the time (16% and 11%, respectively).

Still, two-thirds (67%) of all U.S. adults say climate scientists should have a major role and 23% say they should have a minor role. Just 9% say climate scientists should have no role in policy issues regarding global climate change.
