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.

I wonder about the non-understanding of this big issue too. Yes, climate change has always happened so it's natural but there's more. Take Greenland. If the ice of Greenland melts too quickly then then there's no turning back making this planet into another Mars. I'm not going on into the details but there should be much more explaining to be done how our present climate system actually works instead of dreaming of making Mars back into a green planet. It's mindblowing how much ignorance and unwillingless to understand there's about now. And yes, I'm conservative. Save the existing trees and plant many more!

@val70 Greenland is called Greenland for a reason.
There are more trees and green spaces now than at beginning of 20th century.
Parts of the Sahara are becoming green

@Patriot96 Greenland got its name from Erik the Red, a Norse explorer who, hoping to attract settlers, named the land "Greenland" despite its mostly icy terrain, believing a positive name would entice people to settle there

@robingoodfellow then explain the settlements uncovered by the retreating ice

@Patriot96 Norse settlements, which goes back to my comment.
The Vikings eventually abandoned them because living conditions were too harsh.

@robingoodfellow yes, is became too cold

@Patriot96 actually now that I'm reading up some more on it, because my interest is piqued, according to Wikipedia it's not recorded in history why the Norse settlements were abandonded but it took place gradually leading historians to believe there were multiple reasons behind it. The cold probably played into it.
Viking history is pretty interesting stuff.
