Sandra asks…
Why are environmental issues part of a right left argument in America?
In most countries around the world environmental issues have nothing to do with left-wing or right-wing ideologies
The Expert answers:
The left claims the high ground and portrays the right as polluters, and not caring about the environment. This is a misconception, as Eisenhower a republican was the first President to sign the 1955 Pollution Act, and Nixon was the first to sign the Clean Water Act of 1972. Because the Republicans gained support during those times, the left has hijacked the cause as their own, and portray the Republicans as opposition in environmental issues. The real issue is that the left wants to spend trillions in environmental projects and the right wants it done responsibly without adding huge cost to the production of goods.
