「Grand Old Party」という用語は共和党の伝統的な愛称であり、「GOP」という略称は一般的に使用されている呼称である。この用語は1875年に議会記録で、連邦の軍事防衛に成功した政党を「この勇敢な古い政党」と呼んだことに由来する。翌年、シンシナティ・コマーシャル紙の記事で、この用語は「grand old party」に修正された。この略称が最初に使われたのは1884年である。[ 97 ]

Of all the major conservative parties in the democratic world, the Republican Party stands alone in its denial of the legitimacy of climate science. Indeed, the Republican Party stands alone in its conviction that no national or international response to climate change is needed. To the extent that the party is divided on the issue, the gap separates candidates who openly dismiss climate science as a hoax, and those who, shying away from the political risks of blatant ignorance, instead couch their stance in the alleged impossibility of international action.
