From the report: The political leaning of scientists is very different from that of the public in the US, just 6% identify themselves as Republican.
There is a wide divide between the US public and scientists on both Creation/Evolution and Climate Change. The Republicans differ more strongly from the scientists than the Democrats. With regard to climate change, 84% of the scientists attribute climate change to human activity and 70% / 22% consider it a "very serious" / "somewhat serious" problem. Of the general public, just 21% of Conservative Republicans attribute climate change to human activity, 28% deny it's warming at all. For Liberal Democrats numbers are 74% and 4%, respectively. These are the extremes on the political scale. So acceptance of human caused climate change is stronger in the science community than in any political faction of the general public.
It is precisely 'traditional' magic, with its built-in explanation and fear of the natural world, which makes possible renewal and transformation. Magic delineates, it reduces the space for experiments to socially acceptable proportions. (CiB link)
