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 attempted to weaken them and reduce their application (Dunlap and McCright, 2008). . The anti-environmental orientation of the Republican Party became prominent again after Newt Gingrich's takeover of Congress in 1994, triggering a modest negative public backlash (Dunlap, 2002), and was greatly amplified during the presidency 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 be more ideologically focused on contrasting positions than the general public. Gallop's (2009) latest research shows that there is currently a very large gap between Republicans and Democrats in belief in the facts about global warming. Eagan and Mulllin (2009) believe that to a large extent, people's perceptions are likely to be guided by conflicting opinions. elite discourse, with the result that more partisan and politically sophisticated citizens will express more coherent beliefs. Americans' beliefs about the existence of global warming are unstable (Eagan and Mullin, 2009). The confidence level in 2009 represents an eight-point drop from the previous year, when 61 percent of people surveyed by Gallup agreed that the effects of global warming had already begun (Saad, 2009). This instability of opinion reflects the low public visibility of the climate change issue and the deep disagreement among political elites over the problem and potential solutions. Regardless of the media's culpability, it currently does not provide a reliable source of moral guidance for addressing climate change and the broader challenges facing America and the world. (Goldstein and Wapner, 2006) Republican presidential candidates dismiss global warming as a hoax or, at best, downplay its importance. The most vocal denier is Rick Perry, the Texas governor and longtime friend of the oil industry, who says climate change is an unproven theory created by "a significant number of scientists who have manipulated the data to be able to inject money into their projects. ". Unfortunately, due to the economic downturn, the fight against climate change has become less urgent for voters, but that doesn't mean the problem is going away. The nation sorely needs a candidate with a logical national strategy and disciplined. We have yet to find a Republican who fits that description (New York Times., 2011)
