Explanation:

The United States' lack of laws or binding international agreements on climate change can be attributed to the influence of a small, well - networked group of global power elite. This group has been successful in blocking bipartisan efforts. Regarding the other options:

• The science behind global warming is mainly from independent agencies, not transnational corporations.
• Many in the global and political elite do believe in the science of climate change.
• Earth Day, while important for awareness, has not led to the US passing laws or establishing binding agreements.

Answer:

a. a relatively small group of well - networked members of the global power elite has been hugely successful at stopping bipartisan efforts to address the climate crisis.
