The situation regarding environmental protection began to change in the early 1980s, when the Reagan administration called environmental regulations a burden on the economy and sought to weaken them and reduce their application (Dunlap and McCright, 2008). . The anti-environmental orientation of the Republican Party once again became prominent following Newt Gingrich's seizure of power in Congress in 1994, sparking a modest negative reaction from the public (Dunlap, 2002), and was notably amplified during the tenure of George W. Bush. administration (Pope and Rauber, 2004). According to Dunlap and McCright (2008) the divide has been most evident among political elites, such as members of Congress, who tend to focus ideologically on contrasting positions compared to the general public. Gallop's (2009) latest research shows a currently very large gap between Republicans and Democrats in terms of their belief in the facts about global warming. Eagan and Mulllin (2009) believe to a large extent that people's perceptions are likely to be driven by contradictory aspects of elite discourse, resulting in more partisan and politically sophisticated citizens expressing more coherent beliefs. Americans' beliefs about the existence of global warming are unstable (Eagan and Mullin, 2009). The level of belief in 2009 represents an eight-point decline from the previous year, when 61% of respondents polled by Gallup agreed that the effects of global warming had already begun (Saad, 2009). This instability of opinion reflects the low public salience of the climate change problem and the strong disagreement among political elites about the problem and potential solutions. Regardless of the media's culpability, the media is currently not a trusted body, therefore... a paper center... offering moral guidance through which to address climate change and the broader challenges facing America and the world they are faced with. (Goldstein and Wapner, 2006) Republican presidential contenders consider global warming a hoax or, at best, underestimate its importance. The most outspoken denier is Rick Perry, governor of Texas and longtime friend of the oil industry, who claims that climate change is an unproven theory created by “a considerable number of scientists who have manipulated the data so that they can invest money in their projects”. ." Unfortunately, due to the economic crisis, addressing climate change has become less urgent for voters, but that doesn't mean the problem is disappearing. The nation desperately needs a candidate with a logical and disciplined national strategy. We must yet to find a Republican who fits this description (New York Times, 2011)
