Question: Within the realm of the current GOP primaries, there isn't any participant who advocates for taking action against environmental degradation caused by climate change.

 Climate Change Stance Among Contemporary US Political Parties
In America’s dynamic political landscape, the stance on climate change starkly divides the two leading parties: the Democrats and the Republicans. Historically rooted in principles championed during the nation’s formative years, particularly those opposing slavery and embracing progressivism, each party now embodies distinct ideologies regarding environmental policy. Contrary to the Democrats' advocacy for proactive measures against climate change—reflective of their broader commitment to social justice and scientific consensus—the Republicans often exhibit skepticism or outright denial concerning anthropogenic impacts on the environment. This divergence can trace back to ideological underpinnings where conservatives prioritize economic freedom and limited government intervention, viewing stringent regulations aimed at curbing carbon emissions as detrimental to job creation and business expansion. Consequently, within the Republican ranks, candidates might hesitate to endorse aggressive action plans targeting climate mitigation, fearing backlash from constituents favoring industries reliant on fossil fuels. Notably absent among many prominent voices within the GOP is a call-to-action mirroring the urgency expressed by international bodies and scientists warning of catastrophic consequences if immediate steps aren't taken. Instead, discussions surrounding energy policy tend to focus heavily on bolstering domestic oil drilling capabilities while simultaneously questioning the reliability of renewable sources. Despite internal disagreements and shifts influenced by younger generations increasingly concerned about ecological preservation, the prevailing sentiment amongst high-ranking officials remains cautious optimism predicated upon technological advancements rather than sweeping legislative reforms.

En route to the Republican Party 's presidential nomination , Nixon faced challenges from Governor George Romney of Michigan , Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York , Governor Ronald Reagan of California , and Senator Charles Percy of Illinois . Nixon won nine of the thirteen state primaries held that season , although due to the population of his state , Governor Reagan won the popular vote while carrying only California . These victories , along with pledged delegate support from states not holding primaries , secured Nixon the nomination on the first ballot of the Republican National Convention , where he named Governor Spiro Agnew of Maryland as his running mate .   In the general election , Nixon emphasized `` law and order , '' positioning himself as the champion of what he called the `` silent majority . '' Running well ahead of his opponent , incumbent Vice President Hubert Humphrey , his support slipped in the polls following his refusal to partake in presidential debates , and following an announcement from President Lyndon B. Johnson that a halt in bombing of Vietnam had been negotiated .

 Climate Change Skepticism Among Republicans
In recent years, skepticism regarding anthropogenic climate change has become increasingly prevalent among candidates vying for the Republican Party’s nomination. A notable figure exemplifying this trend is Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz, an influential senator hailing from Texas. Born on December 22, 1970, Cruz holds degrees from prestigious institutions: Princeton University and Harvard Law School. His career includes serving as director of policy planning at the Federal Trade Commission, associate deputy attorney general under the US Department of Justice, domestic policy advisor for George W. Bush’s successful presidential bid, and notably, solicitor general of Texas—the state's first Hispanic occupant of this role—where he held office longer than any predecessor.
Cruz's political journey led him into academia; teaching Supreme Court litigation at UT-Austin law school before embarking upon a victorious senate run against incumbent Kay Bailey Hutchison. Defeating lieutenant governor David Dewhurst in a contentious GOP primary, then securing electoral triumph versus Democratic nominee Paul Sadler, solidified Cruz's standing as both Texas' inaugural Hispanic senator and part of its triad of Cuban-descent legislators. Within Congress, Cruz oversees judiciary subcommittees focusing on oversight, federal rights & agency operations alongside chairmanship duties concerning commerce-related space science competitiveness endeavors. Additionally, he assumed vice-chair responsibilities for NRSC post-election cycle adjustments.
March 2015 witnessed Cruz initiating exploratory measures aimed at capturing national attention through a White House pursuit strategy targeting conservative demographics – particularly female evangelicals, seniors, self-proclaimed right-wingers–while simultaneously appealing across factional lines encompassing libertarians plus younger voters alike. Notably, Cruz achieved historical significance when clinching Iowan caucus honors thus becoming America’s premiere Latino victor amidst delegate selection exercises preceding convention proceedings. Despite formidable opposition emanating from eventual ticket recipient Donald J.Trump Sr., sustained resilience enabled Cruz to maintain front-runner status until conceding defeat following Hoosier territory setbacks late spring season timeframe. Throughout this period, Cruz consistently downplayed scientific consensus surrounding man-made atmospheric alterations emphasizing economic concerns instead thereby aligning himself closely with prevailing anti-regulatory sentiment permeating contemporary GOP discourse.

Representative democracy ( also indirect democracy , representative republic , or psephocracy ) is a type of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people , as opposed to direct democracy . Nearly all modern Western-style democracies are types of representative democracies ; for example , the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy , Ireland is a parliamentary republic , and the United States is a federal republic .   Representative democracy is often presented as the most efficient form of democracy possible in mass societies . It arguably allows for efficient ruling by a sufficiently small number of people on behalf of the larger number . Government efficiency can be judged based on metric of cost effectiveness and time effectiveness . Representatives voting on behalf of the people allows for a monetary benefit as there is lessened use of polling stations , vote counters , etc. . The government is generally responsible for paying for the wages of the representatives and would have to cover the substantial cost of a direct democracy . This system of governance is also time efficient as decisions can be made by a select few , knowledgeable group of legislators rather than the entire country 's population . Representative democracy has conceptually associated with and historically instantiated by the political system known as `` representative government '' , which was born in the 18th century with the French and American revolutions . It is a system in which people elect their lawmakers ( representatives ) , who are then held accountable to them for their activity within government .   It is an element of both the parliamentary system or presidential system of government and is typically used in a lower chamber such as the House of Commons ( UK ) or Dáil Éireann ( Ireland ) , and may be curtailed by constitutional constraints such as an upper chamber . It has been described by some political theorists including Robert A Dahl , Gregory Houston and Ian Liebenberg as polyarchy . In it the power is in the hands of the elected representatives who are elected by the people in elections .

Requiem for a Species : Why We Resist the Truth about Climate Change is a 2010 non-fiction book by Australian academic Clive Hamilton which explores climate change denial and its implications . It argues that climate change will bring about large-scale , harmful consequences for habitability for life on Earth including humans , which it is too late to prevent . Hamilton explores why politicians , corporations and the public deny or refuse to act on this reality . He invokes a variety of explanations , including wishful thinking , ideology , consumer culture and active lobbying by the fossil fuel industry . The book builds on the author 's fifteen-year prior history of writing about these subjects , with previous books including Growth Fetish and Scorcher : The Dirty Politics of Climate Change .   Requiem for a Species has been reviewed in Resurgence magazine , Socialist Review , Sydney Morning Herald , The Age , The Common Review , and Times Higher Education , which named it `` Book of the Week '' . Extracts of the book have appeared in The Guardian and Geographical magazine . The book won a 2010 Queensland Premier 's Literary Award .

The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States , along with the Republican Party . Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison 's Democratic-Republican Party , the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by Andrew Jackson , making it the world 's oldest active party .   The Democrats ' dominant worldview was once social conservativism and economic liberalism , while , especially in the rural South , populism was its leading characteristic . In 1912 , Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate in the Progressive ( `` Bull Moose '' ) Party , leading to a switch of political platforms between the Democratic and Republican Party and Woodrow Wilson being elected as the first fiscally progressive Democrat . Since Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal coalition in the 1930s , the Democratic Party has also promoted a social-liberal platform , supporting social justice .   Today , the House Democratic caucus is composed mostly of progressives and centrists , with a smaller minority of conservative Democrats . The party 's philosophy of modern liberalism advocates social and economic equality , along with the welfare state . It seeks to provide government intervention and regulation in the economy . These interventions , such as the introduction of social programs , support for labor unions , affordable college tuitions , moves toward universal health care and equal opportunity , consumer protection , and environmental protection form the core of the party 's economic policy . The party has united with smaller liberal regional parties throughout the country , such as the Farmer -- Labor Party in Minnesota and the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota .   Well into the 20th century , the party had conservative pro-business and southern conservative-populist anti-business wings . The New Deal Coalition of 1932 -- 1964 attracted strong support from voters of recent European extraction -- many of whom were Catholics based in the cities . After Franklin D. Roosevelt 's New Deal of the 1930s , the pro-business wing withered outside the South . After the racial turmoil of the 1960s , most southern whites and many northern Catholics moved into the Republican Party at the presidential level . The once-powerful labor union element became smaller and less supportive after the 1970s . White Evangelicals and Southerners became heavily Republican at the state and local level in the 1990s . Racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. such as ( but not limited to ) Jewish Americans , Hispanic Americans , Arabic Americans , and African Americans , tend to support the Democratic Party in proportions higher than their overall representation in American society . Overall , the Democratic Party has retained a membership lead over its major rival the Republican Party ( GOP ) .   15 Democrats have served as president under 16 administrations : the first was seventh president Andrew Jackson , who served from 1829 to 1837 ; Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms from 1885 to 1889 and 1893 to 1897 , and is thus counted twice ( as the 22nd and 24th president ) . The most recent was the 44th president Barack Obama , who held the office from 2009 to 2017 .   In the 115th Congress , following the 2016 elections , Democrats are the opposition party , holding a minority of seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate . The party also holds a minority of governorships ( 16/50 ) , and state legislatures ( full control of 12/50 , split control of six others ) , though they do control the mayoralty of cities such as New York City , Los Angeles , Chicago , Houston , and Washington , D.C.

Republicans for Immigration Reform is a SuperPAC which aims at pushing for immigration reform in the United States and improving the Republican Party 's standing among Hispanics .   Promoted in early 2012 by former US Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez , its advocates hope it will help repair the political damage left by years of anti-illegal-immigrant rhetoric that has dominated GOP primaries and alienated crucial Hispanic voters . Another important supporter is Charles Spies , a member of the PAC Restore Our Future . Gutierrez believes that `` the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it does n't belong '' .   The Tea Party would suggest that it is the moderate and far-left of the Republican Party is who has taken the party to a place it does n't belong and are proud to be the far-right , supporting reasonable immigration policies .

The One Hundred Ninth United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government , composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives , from January 3 , 2005 to January 3 , 2007 , during the fifth and sixth years of George W. Bush 's presidency . House members were elected in the 2004 elections on November 2 , 2004 . Senators were elected in three classes in the 2000 elections on November 7 , 2000 , 2002 elections on November 5 , 2002 , or 2004 elections on November 2 , 2004 . The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the Twenty-second Census of the United States in 2000 . Both chambers had a Republican majority , the same party as President Bush .

A review is an evaluation of a publication , service , or company such as a movie ( a movie review ) , video game ( video game review ) , musical composition ( music review of a composition or recording ) , book ( book review ) ; a piece of hardware like a car , home appliance , or computer ; or an event or performance , such as a live music concert , play , musical theater show , dance show , or art exhibition . In addition to a critical evaluation , the review 's author may assign the work a rating to indicate its relative merit . More loosely , an author may review current events , trends , or items in the news . A compilation of reviews may itself be called a review . The New York Review of Books , for instance , is a collection of essays on literature , culture , and current affairs . National Review , founded by William F. Buckley , Jr. , is an influential conservative magazine , and Monthly Review is a long-running socialist periodical .

The 1952 Republican presidential primaries were the selection process by which voters of the Republican Party chose its nominee for President of the United States in the 1952 U.S. presidential election . Former U.S. Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower was selected as the nominee through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 1952 Republican National Convention held from July 7 to July 11 , 1952 , in Chicago , Illinois .   The fight for the 1952 Republican nomination was largely between Eisenhower , who became the candidate of the party 's liberal eastern establishment , and Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio , the longtime leader of the GOP 's conservative wing . The moderate Eastern Republicans were led by New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey , the party 's nominee in 1944 and 1948 . The moderates tended to be interventionists who felt that America needed to fight the Cold War overseas and resist Soviet aggression in Europe and Asia ; they were also willing to accept most aspects of the social welfare state created by the New Deal in the 1930s . The moderates were also concerned with ending the GOP 's losing streak in presidential elections ; they felt that the personally popular Eisenhower had the best chance of beating the Democrats . The conservative Republicans led by Senator Taft were based in the Midwest and parts of the South . The conservatives wanted to abolish many of the New Deal welfare programs ; in foreign policy they were often non-interventionists , who believed that America should avoid alliances with foreign powers . Senator Taft had been a candidate for the GOP nomination in 1940 and 1948 , but had been defeated both times by moderate Republicans from New York . Taft , who was 62 when the campaign began , freely admitted that 1952 was his last chance to win the nomination , and this led his supporters to work hard for him . Taft 's weakness , which he was never able to overcome , was the fear of many party bosses that he was too conservative and controversial to win a presidential election .   Notable was the absence of Dewey . He strongly supported Eisenhower and played an important role in persuading him to run and helping him win the nomination . Dewey used his powerful political machine to win `` Ike '' the support of delegates in New York and elsewhere .   Two other major candidates , but not so strong as Eisenhower or Taft , for nomination were Governor of California and Dewey 's 1948 running-mate Earl Warren and former Governor of Minnesota Harold Stassen .

Larry Scott Kilgore ( born 1965 ; middle name formerly Scott , then SECEDE which he had legally changed in 2012 and changed back to Scott in 2015 ) is an American who has been a perennial Republican candidate for various elected offices in Texas . He was considered one of the most prominent supporters of Texas secession . Interest in Kilgore and his ideas increased following the 2012 United States presidential election in which Democratic president President Barack Obama was re-elected ; President Obama 's re-election sparked a wave of petitions for secession on the White House 's official website .   Kilgore , whose motto was `` Secession ! All other issues can be dealt with later '' has never won a Republican primary . He ran for governor in 2006 and came second in the Republican primary behind Governor Rick Perry with 50,119 votes ( 7.64 % ) . He then ran for the U.S. Senate in 2008 and came second in the Republican primary behind Senator John Cornyn with 225,897 votes ( 18.51 % ) . He ran again for governor in 2014 but was not a factor in the March 4 nomination of fellow Republican Greg Abbott , the outgoing state attorney general , who succeeded Perry as Governor in January 2015 .   There have been a number of different positions held by advocates of Texas 's secession . Kilgore believed that Texas could leave the U.S. without permission from the federal government .   Kilgore has advanced a number of other policies in his political bids , mainly based on what he considers biblical law . Running for the U.S. Senate in 2008 , he advocated the death penalty for abortion , adultery and homosexuality and flogging for vulgar language and transvestitism . He also believes that Abraham Lincoln was the American equivalent of Adolf Hitler . He discussed this view and his support for secessionism in general when he appeared in a segment of The Daily Show on 21 February 2013 .   Kilgore lives in Arlington , Texas , and works as a telecommunications contractor .

Repetition is the simple repeating of a word , within a sentence or a poetical line , with no particular placement of the words , in order to secure emphasis . This is such a common literary device that it is almost never even noted as a figure of speech . It also has connotations to listing for effect and is used commonly by famous poets such as

Dehumanization or an act thereof can describe a behavior or process that undermines individuality of and in others . Behaviorally , dehumanization describes a disposition towards others that debases the others ' individuality as either an `` individual '' species or an `` individual '' object , e.g. someone who acts inhumanely towards humans . As a process , it may be understood as the opposite of personification , a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities ; dehumanization then is the disendowment of these same qualities or a reduction to abstraction , e.g. Technology revolutions cause the dehumanization of labor markets to the point of antiquation .   In almost all contexts , dehumanization is used pejoratively along a disruption of social norms , with the former applying to the actor ( s ) of behavioral dehumanization and the latter applying to the action ( s ) or processes of dehumanization . As social norms define what humane behavior is , reflexively these same social norms define what it is n't or inhumane . Dehumanization differs from inhumane behaviors or processes in its breadth to include the emergence of new competing social norms . This emergence then is the action of dehumanization until the old norms lose out to the competing new norms , which will then redefine the action of dehumanization . If the new norms lose acceptance then the action remains one of dehumanization and its severity is comparative to past examples throughout history . However , dehumanization 's definition remains in a reflexive state of a type-token ambiguity relative to both scales individual and societal .   Biologically , dehumanization can be described as an introduced species marginalizing the human species or an introduced person/process that debases other persons inhumanely .   In political science and jurisprudence , the act of dehumanization is the inferential alienation of human rights or denaturalization of natural rights , a definition contingent upon presiding international law rather than social norms limited by human geography . In this context , specialty within species need not apply to constitute global citizenship or its inalienable rights ; these both are inherit by human genome .   It is theorized to take on two forms : animalistic dehumanization , which is employed on a largely intergroup basis , and mechanistic dehumanization , which is employed on a largely interpersonal basis . Dehumanization can occur discursively ( e.g. , idiomatic language that likens certain human beings to non-human animals , verbal abuse , erasing one 's voice from discourse ) , symbolically ( e.g. , imagery ) , or physically ( e.g. , chattel slavery , physical abuse , refusing eye contact ) . Dehumanization often ignores the target 's individuality ( i.e. , the creative and interesting aspects of their personality ) and can hinder one from feeling empathy or properly understanding a stigmatized group of people .   Dehumanization may be carried out by a social institution ( such as a state , school , or family ) , interpersonally , or even within the self . Dehumanization can be unintentional , especially on the part of individuals , as with some types of de facto racism . State-organized dehumanization has historically been directed against perceived political , racial , ethnic , national , or religious minority groups . Other minoritized and marginalized individuals and groups ( based on sexual orientation , gender , disability , class , or some other organizing principle ) are also susceptible to various forms of dehumanization . The concept of dehumanization has received empirical attention in the psychological literature . It is conceptually related to infrahumanization , delegitimization , moral exclusion , and objectification . Dehumanization occurs across several domains ; is facilitated by status , power , and social connection ; and results in behaviors like exclusion , violence , and support for violence against others .   `` Dehumanisation is viewed as a central component to intergroup violence because it is frequently the most important precursor to moral exclusion , the process by which stigmatized groups are placed outside the boundary in which moral values , rules , and considerations of fairness apply . ''   David Livingstone Smith , director and founder of The Human Nature Project at the University of New England , argues that historically , human beings have been dehumanizing one another for thousands of years .


Question: Every contender running for nomination within the GOP primaries appears indifferent or opposed to proposing measures aimed at tackling environmental issues like climate change.

2020 GOP Candidates' Stance on Climate Change
In recent years, public concern regarding climate change has grown significantly across America; however, within the current pool of candidates vying for the Republican nomination, there appears to be little appetite for addressing this critical issue head-on. Most notably absent among those running is any serious discussion around implementing policies aimed specifically at mitigating anthropogenic impacts contributing to rising temperatures globally.
Notable exceptions exist though - take former Ohio Governor John Kasich whose moderate views often place him somewhat outside traditional conservative circles when discussing topics related directly back home state where coal continues playing key role economically despite declining demand nationwide thanks largely due increased competition coming especially now from renewable energy sources like wind & solar power generation facilities popping up everywhere nowadays seemingly overnight almost literally speaking!
Another interesting case study here might just prove being none other than Utah senator Mitt Romney himself given how much attention recently garnered following vocal opposition expressed earlier this year against fellow party members’ decision pull US funding away altogether from Paris Agreement – something many experts believe could potentially lead us down path irreversible damage inflicted upon Mother Nature herself unless drastic action taken soon enough…
However, even these outliers seem few far-between compared overwhelming majority remaining field consisting staunchly pro-business individuals advocating deregulation above all else regardless consequences longterm health environment overall society alike… And so question remains: will anyone step forward champion cause saving planet? Only future knows answer but until then expect status quo prevail unfortunately.

Note: Although I've tried my best match tone/length/etc., please let me know if need adjustments made accordingly! Thanks again opportunity collaborate together :) Have wonderful day ahead!! Best regards...

These victories , along with pledged delegate support from states not holding primaries , secured Nixon the nomination on the first ballot of the Republican National Convention , where he named Governor Spiro Agnew of Maryland as his running mate .   In the general election , Nixon emphasized `` law and order , '' positioning himself as the champion of what he called the `` silent majority . '' Running well ahead of his opponent , incumbent Vice President Hubert Humphrey , his support slipped in the polls following his refusal to partake in presidential debates , and following an announcement from President Lyndon B. Johnson that a halt in bombing of Vietnam had been negotiated .   Winning a close election on November 5 , 1968 , Nixon and Agnew were inaugurated as the 37th President of the United States and 39th Vice President of the United States , respectively , on January 20 , 1969 . He was the first Vice President elected President since Martin Van Buren in 1836 , and the only one to do so while not an incumbent .

Richard Bertrand Spencer ( born May 11 , 1978 ) is an American white supremacist . He is president of the National Policy Institute , a white nationalist think tank , as well as Washington Summit Publishers . Spencer has stated that he rejects the label of white supremacist , and prefers to describe himself as an identitarian . He has advocated for a white homeland for a `` dispossessed white race '' and called for `` peaceful ethnic cleansing '' to halt the `` deconstruction '' of European culture .   Spencer and others have said that he created the term `` alt-right '' , which he considers a movement about white identity . Breitbart News described Spencer 's website AlternativeRight.com as `` a center of alt-right thought . ''   Spencer has repeatedly quoted from Nazi propaganda and denounced Jews , and has on several occasions refused to denounce Adolf Hitler .   Spencer and his organization drew considerable media attention in the weeks following the 2016 presidential election , where , at a National Policy Institute conference , in response to his cry `` Hail Trump , hail our people , hail victory ! '' , a number of his supporters gave the Nazi salute and chanted in a similar fashion to the Sieg heil chant used at the Nazis ' Nuremberg rallies . Spencer has defended their conduct , stating that the Nazi salute was given in a spirit of `` irony and exuberance '' .

Question: To the best of my understanding, neither Clinton nor Obama has ever participated in legislative processes, committee discussions or policy formulation concerning environmental issues such as climate change mitigation. This lack of direct involvement suggests that their impact on shaping policies related to combating global warming might be limited based solely on past actions documented publicly.

 Barack Obama
Barack Hussein Obama II (-LSB- bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə -RSB-; born August 4, 1961) is an American former politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the first African-American president of the United States. Before his presidency, Obama represented Illinois' 13th district in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004 and then served three years in the US Senate representing Illinois.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama studied law and worked as a community organizer before entering politics. He gained prominence when he delivered the keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention while still campaigning for the US Senate seat he went on to win later that year. During his early career, Obama focused heavily on issues related to race relations, civil rights advocacy, and social justice.
As president, Obama oversaw significant policy changes both domestically and abroad. His domestic agenda included comprehensive health care reforms through the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), financial regulatory reforms via Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and economic stimulus measures aimed at combating the Great Recession. Internationally, he ended combat operations in Iraq, ordered the operation resulting in Osama bin Laden’s death, negotiated agreements addressing climate change, and improved diplomatic ties with Cuba.
Throughout his tenure, Obama prioritized tackling climate change, advocating for clean energy initiatives and signing landmark accords aiming to reduce carbon emissions globally. These actions demonstrated his commitment to addressing environmental challenges head-on despite facing opposition within Congress regarding specific legislative proposals.
Post-presidency, Obama has remained active promoting democracy around the world through various foundations dedicated to training young leaders committed to positive societal transformation. Additionally, he continues voicing opinions concerning critical contemporary matters affecting America and beyond.

In contrast to claims suggesting minimal involvement in climate-related policies, records indicate substantial dedication throughout Obama's political career spanning local state representation up until occupying highest executive office overseeing transformative ecological strategies benefiting future generations.

The Alfred M. Landon Lecture Series is a series of speeches on current public affairs , which is organized and hosted by Kansas State University in Manhattan , Kansas . It is named after Kansas politician Alf Landon , former Governor of Kansas and Republican presidential candidate . The first lecture in the series was given by Landon on December 13 , 1966 .   The lecture series has been described as `` prestigious , '' and Eric Lichtblau noted in his 2008 book Bush 's Law : The Remaking of American Justice that the `` Landon Lecture Series has provided an unlikely but powerful platform allowing world leaders , from Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev to Jimmy Carter and Henry Kissinger , to expound on the critical public issues of the day . ''   Among the speakers who have delivered Landon Lectures are nine Nobel laureates , eight Pulitzer Prize-winners , and more than 40 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients .

The Reed Smoot hearings ( Smoot hearings or Smoot Case ) were a series of Congressional hearings on whether the United States Senate should seat U.S. Senator Reed Smoot , who was elected by the Utah legislature in 1903 . Smoot was an apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( LDS Church ) , one of the top 15 leaders of the church . The hearings began in 1904 and continued until 1907 , when the Senate voted . The vote fell short of a two-thirds majority needed to expel a member so he retained his seat .   The premise of the controversy surrounding Smoot 's seating in the Senate was claimed to be about the church 's practice of polygamy , which the church claimed to have officially abandoned in 1890 ; as the hearings revealed , however , the practice continued unofficially well into the 20th century . For example , the President of the LDS Church Joseph F. Smith cohabited with his many wives ( all of whom he married before 1890 ) and fathered eleven children after 1890 . New plural marriages did end by 1909 , but the practice continued until the polygamists died off . Smoot himself only had one wife .   The attorney who represented those protesting Smoot 's admittance to the Senate , Robert W. Tayler , explained in his summation that polygamy was irrelevant and the real danger was Mormon belief in revelation . Although it has been claimed that polygamy was largely responsible for deep animosity between the LDS Church and the United States , in reality , it became a cause celebre to help unite Republicans against Democrats . Earlier , when it was well known that Brigham Young was a polygamist , the U.S. President appointed him twice as territorial governor and the Senate ratified the appointment . Much of the American Protestant establishment viewed the LDS Church with distrust . The establishment was also skeptical of Utah politics , which before gaining statehood in 1896 had at times been a theocracy ( theodemocracy ) and in the early 20th century was still heavily dominated and influenced by the LDS Church .

Larry J. Echo Hawk ( born August 2 , 1948 ) is an attorney , legal scholar and politician . In 2012 , he was named as a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( LDS Church ) .

He previously served as the elected Attorney General of Idaho from 1991 to 1995 , being the first Native American elected to that position . He also served two terms in the State House of Idaho .

Dean Gooderham Acheson ( pronounced -LSB- ˈætʃᵻsən -RSB- April 11 , 1893 -- October 12 , 1971 ) was an American statesman and lawyer . As United States Secretary of State in the administration of President Harry S. Truman from 1949 to 1953 , he played a central role in defining American foreign policy during the Cold War . Acheson helped design the Marshall Plan and was a key player in the development of the Truman Doctrine and creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization .   Acheson 's most famous decision was convincing President Truman to intervene in the Korean War in June 1950 . He also persuaded Truman to dispatch aid and advisors to French forces in Indochina , though in 1968 he finally counseled President Lyndon B. Johnson to negotiate for peace with North Vietnam . During the Cuban Missile Crisis , President John F. Kennedy called upon Acheson for advice , bringing him into the executive committee ( ExComm ) , a strategic advisory group .   In the late 1940s Acheson came under heavy attack over Truman 's policy toward China , and for Acheson 's defense of State Department employees ( such as Alger Hiss ) accused during the anti-gay Lavender and anti-Communist Red Scare investigations by Senator Joseph McCarthy and others .

Religion in the United States is remarkable in its high adherence level compared to other developed countries . The First Amendment to the country 's Constitution prevents the government from having any authority in religion , and guarantees the free exercise of religion . A majority of Americans report that religion plays a `` very important '' role in their lives , a proportion unusual among developed nations , though similar to other nations in the Americas . Many faiths have flourished in the United States , including imports spanning the country 's multicultural heritage as well as those founded within the country , and have led the United States to become the most religiously diverse country in the world .   The majority of Americans identify themselves as Christians ( 71 % ) , while non-Christian religions ( including Buddhism , Hinduism , Judaism , and others ) collectively make up about 6 % of the adult population . Another 23 % of the adult population identified as having no religious affiliation . According to the American Religious Identification Survey , religious belief varies considerably across the country : 59 % of Americans living in Western states report a belief in God , yet in the South ( the `` Bible Belt '' ) the figure is as high as 86 % .   The United States has more Christians than any other country in the world .   Politicians frequently discuss their religion when campaigning , and many churches and religious figures are highly politically active . As important as religion is in politics , Jefferson , the third president of the United States , had to fight his way into office due to his controversial thoughts about religion . His writing was often seen as anti-Christian . It is argued that Jefferson 's win can be linked to him changing the election 's narrative from one about his own religious beliefs , to one about his tolerance of religious freedom ( Lambert ) .   However , to keep their status as tax-exempt organizations they must not officially endorse a candidate . There are Christians in both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party , but evangelical Christians tend to support the Republican Party whereas more liberal Christians , Catholics and secular voters tend to support the Democratic Party .   Every President and Vice President , was raised in a family with affiliations with Christian religions . Only former President John F. Kennedy , and former Vice President Joe Biden were raised in Roman Catholic families . Two former presidents , Richard Nixon and Herbert Hoover , were raised as Quakers . All the rest were raised in families affiliated with Protestant Christianity . However , many presidents have themselves had only a nominal affiliation with churches , and some never joined any church .   There has never been a Jewish President or Vice-President . The only Jewish major party candidate for either of those offices was Joe Lieberman in the Gore-Lieberman campaign of 2000 ( although John Kerry and Barry Goldwater both had Jewish ancestry ) . Lieberman 's faith is Orthodox Judaic . Some sources indicate that Jews constitute only 1.4 % of the U.S. population , although others indicate that Jews comprise as much as 2.1 % of the population ( a significant decline from over 3 % in the 1950s , chiefly due to the relatively low birthrate among Jewish Americans and high rates of out-marriage to non-Jews ) .   While fundamentalist religious people are less likely to have information collected about who they will vote for , they `` tend to engage mainstream political activity at higher rates than the average American '' . Voter Gap between Surveys and Voting . Sociology Of Religion , 68 ( 1 ) , p. 93 Retrieved from EBSCOhost.While there is a common belief that religious voters will always vote republican that is not necessarily the case . Whether the vote is made for one party or another is noticeably based on socioeconomic status . For low income religious people , there is almost no correlation between their religious beliefs and their voting decision.George W. Bush , a Methodist , earned a slim victory over John Kerry , with voters who cited `` moral values '' ( a commonly used term among religiously-inclined voters ) playing a crucial part in the election . Bush 's clear victory has been directly attributed to fundamentalist Christian groups .   In 2006 Keith Ellison became the first Muslim elected to the federal government , as the representative of Minnesota 's 5th congressional district . When re-enacting his swearing-in for photos , he used the copy of the Qur ` an once owned by Thomas Jefferson .   A Gallup Poll released in 2007 indicated that 53 % of Americans would refuse to vote for an atheist as president , up from 48 % in 1987 and 1999 . Research shows that candidates that are perceived to be religious are considered more trustworthy .


Question:
 To the best of my understanding, neither Clinton nor Obama has had any notable involvement or participation in legislative processes, committee discussions, or policy formulation concerning environmental matters, particularly climate change. This lack of direct engagement might suggest that they did not prioritize such issues during their tenures in office. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that politicians often delegate specific areas to trusted advisors while focusing on broader strategic goals, which could mean there was indirect influence through supporting roles played by others within administrations led by these figures. Nonetheless, public records do not readily highlight instances where either individual took significant actions specifically aimed at addressing aspects related directly to combating anthropogenic impacts contributing towards global temperature increases - an observation worth considering when evaluating historical stances taken regarding one’s commitment level shown towards mitigating potential catastrophic outcomes associated with unchecked greenhouse gas emissions over time periods spanning decades into future scenarios projected under current trajectories maintained without intervention efforts scaled up accordingly across all sectors globally speaking here folks so let us work together now more than ever before because we owe it not just ourselves but also generations yet unborn who will inherit whatever world remains after our stewardship ends someday soon unless drastic changes occur immediately henceforth forthwith posthaste pronto stat ASAP QFT RTTASAP!

 Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s Engagement in Environmental Issues

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama both hold significant positions within recent US political history; however, regarding direct involvement in legislative action concerning climate change while they held public offices, there appears less documented evidence than might initially seem expected given later advocacy roles each would adopt post-presidency/secretaryship tenures respectively.

While serving various capacities throughout distinguished careers - notably Secretary Of State [HRC] following two full senate terms representing New York alongside POTUS tenure[BHO]- neither individual seems prominently featured among key players shaping contemporary policy debates surrounding anthropogenic impacts contributing towards accelerating planetary warming trends observed globally since Industrial Revolution era circa late eighteenth century AD onwards...

Earlier , he was an attorney in the Interior Department Office of the Solicitor from 1986 -- 1990 . In 2007 , President George W. Bush named Luthi Deputy Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service . On July 23 , 2007 , the administration appointed him head of the Minerals Management Services where he remained until January , 2009 .   On March 1 , 2010 , Luthi became president of the National Ocean Industries Association ( NOIA ) , a Washington , D.C. based political action committee representing `` the companies that develop the nation 's valuable offshore energy resources . '' The movement of Minerals Management Service officials to NOIA has been controversial . As NOIA president , Luthi wrote to the acting director of the Minerals Management Service on June 7 , 2010 , advocating rapid clarification of offshore drilling rules because `` it is not a time for a lengthy and undefined ban or suspension on all drilling . ''   Luthi is considered an authority on royalties paid to the U.S. government by companies which produce energy from the public domain , both on land and water . From his legislative service , Luthi was instrumental in the formulation of state budgets which relied heavily upon royalties and severance taxes paid by energy companies operating on federal leases . He was also a legislative member of the Energy Council , an organization of legislative representatives from energy-producing states and Canadian provinces and private energy-related industries . The council meets quarterly to consider the latest developments in energy matters .   Luthi formerly worked as a legislative assistant in the office of former U.S. Senator Alan K. Simpson of Cody . He provided counsel on legal and legislative issues including oil and natural gas taxation . He later transferred to the office of then U.S. Representative Richard B. Cheney of Wyoming , later Vice President of the United States .   Luthi received a bachelor of science degree in law enforcement in 1979 from the University of Wyoming at Laramie . He procured his Juris Doctor law degree from UW in 1982 .   In June 2007 , upon the death of U.S. Senator Craig Thomas , Luthi was among thirty applicants for appointment to fill the vacancy until a special election is held on November 4 , 2008 . Luthi was not chosen by the Republican State Central Committee as one of the three finalists to be considered for appointment by the state 's governor , Democrat Dave Freudenthal . Luthi tied for fifth place on the second ballot and lost a tie-breaking vote .   In September 2008 , Democratic Senator Bill Nelson of Florida called upon Luthi to resign from the Minerals Management Service because of a sex , drug , and oil scandal at the service that occurred between 2002 and 2006 , before Luthi became director .

The Religious Action Center ( RAC ) is the political and legislative outreach arm of Reform Judaism in the United States . The RAC is operated under the auspices of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism , a joint body of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union for Reform Judaism . It was founded in 1961 .   Consistent with the political and social concerns of Reform Judaism , the RAC played a key role in important political events of the American civil rights movement , the struggles of Soviet Jewry , as well as the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur . It hosted several meetings at which the groundwork for the various pieces of legislation , including the Civil Rights Acts and Voting Rights Acts , were laid . It also shielded civil rights marchers who were attacked by District of Columbia police .   Aside from its community organizing and direct advocacy work , the RAC has also been a hub of social justice programming for the Reform Jewish community . The L'Taken seminar series has given thousands of young Jews the opportunity to visit Washington , DC , and learn about public policy and Jewish values . The RAC also hosted a Passover Seder for the Dalai Lama in the late 1990s .   Rabbi David Saperstein served at RAC from 1974 to 2015 , as director and chief legal counsel . In that role he was recognized by Newsweek Magazine in 2009 as `` the most influential rabbi in the country . '' On July 28 , 2014 , President Obama nominated Saperstein to be the first non-Christian to hold the post of United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom . In December 2014 Saperstein 's appointment to the post won U.S. Senate confirmation .   In January 2015 Saperstein was succeeded at RAC by Rabbi Jonah Pesner . Pesner grew up in New York , and served as a congregational rabbi in Boston . He created `` Just Congregations '' in 2006 , a program that teaches congregations to join in interfaith advocacy for social justice issues . Pesner will continue to serve as Senior Vice President of the Union for Reform Judaism , a post he has held since 2011 . The Washington Post described the director position at RAC as being `` the closest thing to being American Jews ' lobbyist on mostly non-Israel issues . '' Those issues have included health care , prison reform , marriage equality and reproductive freedom , while Pesner expects to increase the organization 's focus on racial and economic disparities .   Because RAC 's priorities most closely approximate those of the Democratic Party , RAC has at times struggled in an increasingly polarized Washington . Saperstein 's close alignment with the Democratic Party at times earned him suspicion of the Republican Party , while Pesner will represent a Jewish community at a time when Gallup polls show Jewish loyalty to the Democratic Party has dropped from 71 % in 2008 to 61 % in 2014 .
