Temperatures Rise, US SplitsTempers are rising in America, along with the temperatures.Two decades ago, the issue of climate change wasn't as contentious. The leading U.S. proponent of the Senate taking action on global warming was Republican John McCain. George w. Bush wasn't as zealous on the issue as his Democratic opponent for president in 2000, Al Gore, but he, too, talked of regulating carbon dioxide.Then the Earth got even hotter, repeatedly breaking temperature records. But instead of drawing closer together, polarized politicians.Democrats and scientists became more convinced that global warming was a real, man-made threat. But Republicans and Tea Party activists became more convinced that it was — to quote the repeated tweets of presidential nominee Donald Trump — a "hoax."When it comes to science, there's more than climate that divides America's leaders and people, such as evolution, vaccination and genetically modified food.But nothing beats climate change for divisiveness.
