Republicans Believe in 'Climate Change,' Not 'Global Warming'

New research suggests that Republicans are far more likely to believe in the vaguer-sounding "climate change" than "global warming." The findings, published in Public Opinion Quarterly, show a 60 percent to 44 percent gap among self-identified Republicans in a large survey who endorsed the notion of "climate change" versus "global warming."

Meaning that 16 percent of Republican respondents apparently weren't aware that "climate change" is synonymous with "global warming."
