Climate change. Please only serious answers.

I am a huge Trump supporter. I support everyone of his issues, except climate change. I believe there is definitely climate issues. I will never stop supporting him and the conservative movement Never

I want to understand and I guess I don’t I need a fellow MAGA explain to me why conservatives don’t believe there is climate change. And to be honest, I want to be wrong Please help prove me wrong.

My husband and I moved out of state to a rural area . I admit, I am a tree hugger there were two grocery stores, three drive-through‘s one dollar general no Walmart no Lowe’s and now there is building all around us. Why if the population has dropped do we need to constantly build? Hometown independent businesses are gone. Those who are coming constantly complaining about traffic. And I would love to find a city or town who is rural but I am afraid they don’t exist.

Mine is perhaps a more philosophical answer. Conservatives are predominantly reactionary and are more likely to see the world as fixed and unmalleable, in the sense that what they (as human beings) do to it will have little impact on diminishing the effects of climate change. They view any progressive idea as suspect, whether it be the rights of the LGBTQ community, the "threat" of the Trans movement, the attack of "woke" ideology on good old family values, etc. It's psychological. Believing in man-made climate change affecting us on a planetary scale is just too much of a leap for their evangelical worldview, which means everything is in God's hands and things happen by His will. Of course, the wealthy oil industry lobbies manage to sway conservative opinion in favour of fossil fuels because, well, it's just capitalism in action and oil means money. Perhaps society coming together for a common purpose that doesn't pursue financial profit smacks too much of communism.
