CNN on Trump/Global Warming: ‘He Won 27 of the 32 States that Emit the Most Carbon’

EXCERPT:

BROWNSTEIN: "Donald Trump won 8 of the 10 states that produced coal, 13 of the 16 that produced the most natural gas, 21 of the 25 that produced the most oil. If you look at the broadest measure of the per capita carbon emissions by state, he won 27 of the 32 states that emit the most carbon. Clinton won 15 of 18 that emit the least. And Senate follows that same pattern with Democrats dominating in the low emission states which happen to be coastal states that are moving away from the industrial economy, they're not resource producing states, and Republicans dominating in those heartland states that are not only energy producers, but often big manufactures, more racially homogenous, more culturally conservative, fewer immigrants. The energy divide now follows the broader political divide and finding a national common cause over that division is very challenging.”
