Recent Anti-environmentalism (in the USA)
Recent Anti-environmentalism occurs with chemical manufacturers, oil producers, mining producers, timber companies, real estate developers, nuclear power industries, electric utilities, as well as politics. Present day anti-environmentalists view environmentalism as "an attack on middle-class American capitalism".[1]At a Heartland anti-environmentalism conference held in 2011, Obama's campaign promise to make American more environmentally cautious was labelled as a plan toward National Socialism. Former Republican Senator, Harrison Shmitt acused environmentalism of sacrifices humans for the sake of the weather.[2]. Larry Bell, an Anti-environmental speaker claimed that the point of environmentalism is to distroy capitalism. Many anti-environmental activists protray environmentalism as a “the ambitions of communist central planners to control the entire society”.ref>Klein, Naomi. "Capitalism vs. The Climate".</ref>
By 2011, lower than half of the American population believed that the burning of focil fuels would affect the environment[3] , proving the success of Anti-environmental publicity. In 2011, 80% of Republicans do not believe the science explaining the current "environmental crisis"[4].
