How do republicans and democrats differ on climate change?

Your brush is too broad.

I believe there is a divergence of views in both groups.

The Democratic party feels that climate change was man made and has been caused by our abuse of the environment and CO2 Admissions.

The republican party differs some believe there is climate change but it wasn't man made therefore man can not reverse the effects of climate change.

Some republicans believe that not only climate change was not created by man but instead of having global warming we are having the opposite effect which is global cooling.

There are extermists on both sides. Most moderates know that we are having an impact on the environment and we need to do something.

Extremists to the right think Jesus wont let us hurt the planet.
Extremists on the left think eating meat is killing the world.

Well, a lot of the republicans and democrats come down to Texas when the Climate changes, we call them winter Texans, or snow birds. They're pretty good people, and they take of their business, so I guess their welcome back.

Most of them talk about good the economy is here, and they wished they could get the opinions of the politicians to be like ours.

Typically republicans do not believe that climate change is man made. They believe it is caused by changes in the sun cycles. Democrats pretty much all believe that it is caused by green house gasses from cars and power plants. Not all republicans disagree though (notably john McCain).

Democrats tend to think human activity is responsible for climate change progressing as quickly as it is. They want to change our energy policy to use more solar, wind, and hydroelectric and stop burning so much fossil fuels to fight this effect.

Republicans tend to think climate change is a strictly natural process and nothing needs to be done differently.

Democrats fell for it, Republicans looked at the facts and saw it for what it is.

Democrats use logic to review scientific evidence that appears to indicate that climate change is occuring throughout the world ... while Republicans don't believe in that science "mumbo-jumbo" and prefer to ignore things they don't understand and leave it all up to "God".
