I have speculated before that there is a high degree of overlap between those who reject evolution and those who deny climate change. I have also speculated that there's a high correlation between religiosity (religious conservatism, in particular) and rejection of both of those.

Some of you readily agreed. Some thought I was pulling it out of my ass.

Here's a great chart. You can decide for yourself. If you are willing to accept support for environmental regulations as a proxy for the climate change question, you'll presumably agree with me.

Some of the outliers are interesting. Look at the Jehovah's Witnesses, for example. Plus, some of us may be surprised a where Muslims fit on this chart.
