I don't get why conservatives are so angry about the thought of climate change and environmentalism. It makes them so angry hearing people who support environmental stewardship.

Why are they so angry? The very word "conservative" implies conservation of resources and the planet. many conservatives of the past like Teddy Roosevelt believed in environmental conservation. And the Bible has many passages on environmental care.
>>
It is real, but none of the actions we are taking do anything about the problem, which leads me to question the motives behind them.

Do yourself a favor. Figure out how much the latest Paris treaty will reduce global warming. When you find out it is scientifically close to zero, ask yourself what the point of the treaty is.

1. Global warming is real.
2. All climate change laws, treaties, and regulations the US has done or agreed to will change global temperature rise by approximately 0.
3. The USA could completely stop producing all greenhouse gases--impossible to actually do--and global temperature would still rise almost the same amount.

1-3 are true. Why are we signing these treaties? From a climate change perspective they do nothing. From a business perspective they turn American competitiveness (especially in manufacturing).

Why are we doing it?

Give me a good answer.

Our impact is exaggerated. The media perspective is the result of studies by researchers funded by globalists

You expect me to believe the theoretical models you've constructed from 50-100 years of accurate data, taking millions of variables into account can predict our future climate using hypothetical trends based on extrapolation thousands of years into the past? No thanks, nobody who has a science education beyond high school level should buy that.

It's a meme. Energy-wise Solar is a meme in 80% of the planet, wind is a meme in 90%. Neither will ever be a replacement for fossil or nuclear, not even when capacitor technology catches up.

We could solve climate change by supporting biological engineering projects.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientists-engineer-bacteria-to-make-fuel-from-co2/

>By breathing in carbon dioxide and hydrogen, an engineered version of the bacterium Ralstonia eutropha produced branched alcohols, compounds that can be blended with gasoline or serve as an energy source on their own. This could help repurpose carbon emissions in a way that can generate money.

Globalists want more regulations because it gives them more power, but we could simply give the National Science Foundation 50 billion dollars or so to solve this problem by figuring out how to make carbon emission conversion profitable.

They actually asked 10,000. About 5,000 responded. It was a 2 question survey:
1) Is the climate changing?
2) Is many partly responsible?

Of the 5,000 who responded, it was about 50-50. So, they picked out the 77 who identified as climate scientists - and 74 agreed to those 2 weak questions. So, out of 10,000 questionnaires, 74 people said that the climate is changing, and man is partly responsible. Only in lib land is 74 out of 5,000 who responded called a 97% consensus.

Climate change?

I doubt that exists. Floods, storms, droughts, all that shit existed long before the industrial revolution.

But there is no fucking reason not to build energy saving electronics and solar panels onto the roof of your house, if you can make the investment.

Reducing plastic would be nice too, don't need to buy everything wrapped twice into plastic.

The whole point of resisting the leftist agenda on this issue is not that we don't want a better, greener future. It's that we don't want to ruin the economy in the process, especially if we do it for nothing. Many leftist policies are harmful for the economy. If they can find a way to make the world greener without fucking the economy then go for it. Right now, many of the leftists are degenerate idealists who think they should be able to fuck up anything they want in pursuit of their ideals.

Climate change is happening, the degree to which humanity is impacting it is debatable.

With all that said, I would rather not toss the die and risk massive loss of agricultural land.

The problem is the west is not the ones causing the damage, poor and emerging nations are doing far more damaging things than western nations. Taxing carbon output or hobbling companies operating in the west is just going to drive them to south-east Asia and have no net impact on climate change.

Also, nuclear is the only solution. Solar/wind/tidal a shit. Fusion is too far away and may not ever be practical.

This is possibly a good, but no matter how expensive those sand niggers make oil, clean energy is still more expensive. Furthermore, the only problem with not being independent is having our foreign policy determined by oil availability. Otherwise, it's a protectionist sentiment to think we should get all our energy from our own country.

>Rainforests
Not really related to stopping global warming

>Sustainability
This is the most important, but as oil becomes more scarce, prices will naturally rise, which will result in a real incentive to look for more sustainable energy sources.

>Green Jobs
Stemming from an absurd desire of full-employment. The worth of a job to an economy is the surplus value created by the employee, the extra consumption they can do for their own benefit, and the extent to which they won't have to rely on welfare. This ignored the fact that jobs will be eliminated by less of a reliance on fossil fuels.

>Livable Cities
I think this might apply to smog, which is really only a problem for a small portion of cities. This is still probably an objective benefit, however.

Virtually every resource can be gathered more cheaply than it is to recycle. Also not strongly related to global warming

The climate has been changing in a heart beat pattern for the entire history of the earth (pic related is just human history) Climatologists have been unable to predict trends because the climate is complicated as fuck. CO2 and man certainly make a contribution, but not alot. All the "solutions" are run by the government and energy special interests to centralize power.
