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.

Good post.

Climate change and conservatism are not incompatible. A true conservative can accept climate change as a reality, but disagree on the politics of what to so about it.

Most of the MAGA folks deny it, but also ridicule, harass, and stymie those who do climate research or make efforts to combat it.

I can say most of the “classic conservatives” I know are resource minded people who dislike waste. For them climate change can be addressed by being less wasteful instead of throwing out their gas car for an electric.

@trollslayer A recent trend is for conservatives to say, “Oh sure climate change is real. It’s been going on for billions of years and it’s all natural. We’ve got some kind of nerve to think we humans are significant enough that anything we could do might affect global climate patterns.”

@Theyitis myself, an earth scientist, understands the difference, but explaining difference goes nowhere
