Climate change is not a top concern for Republican voters in 2024 presidential election, according to Pew Research Center .

Just 12% of Republicans and those who lean Republican say dealing with climate change should be a top priority for the president and Congress .

Experts on environmental politics say the conversation has evolved to focus less on climate science.

Republicans rarely use the term "climate change" anymore "it's become a trigger word".

Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance , received $ 354,937 in funding from the oil and gas industry as of March 2023 .

Other established Republican senators have received much more funding from oil companies than Vance has.

The effects of climate change are now happening in people's backyards, a psychiatrist says.
