Do Conservatives Not Care About the Environment? Or Are They Just Not Insane About it?

Question

The perfect example is global warming. Liberals are ready to attack the evil cooperate america for the same CO2 that liberals emit while blowing their hot air. Well I guess sometimes they emit more CO while talking.

Baseline is that climate is more complicated than a direct function of CO2. The increase in severe weather has a lot more to do with an increase in reporting than anything else. It is far more likely that land usage has a much greater impact on global temps than CO2.

But hey if the CO2 emission are that bad, I suggest we just start distrubuting guns and have open season on all CO2 emitting creatures. I mean, certainly any effort we make to reduce CO2 emissions won't have any negative effects? So why not just go all out?

Answer 1

I am a conservative and i am very concerned about Global Warming, just think, in 3or 4 trillion years the earth will warm by 3or 4 degrees. I think all of us should stock up on lotion in case we want to go to the beach in 3or4 trillion years!!

Answer 2

Last January, we had the coldest winter in over 30 years - and living in central Alaska, let me tell you - that's f*ing MISERABLE.

This November, we haven't hit any record lows yet, but the entire month has been unusually cold.

I'm old enough (gads) to remember the scientific community being all up in arms in the 70s about the next ice age coming and how we were all going to freeze to death. I just don't get excited anymore about the "latest" scientific BS.

Oh, and I drive a big-*** truck. Huge. Enormous. (F350 Crew Cab Powerstroke Diesel - LOVE IT) I also have a small farm and NEED said big truck to haul critters, tractors, etc. Does this mean I don't care about the environment? According to quite a few liberals, it does. They don't bother to find out of someone has a need for a large truck or SUV - they just assume that I'm a horrible person. What a crock.

Answer 3

I don't know, I am not an expert, but I think it's that conservatives just feel there are more important things to worry about. I for one do not believe in global warming, I think the things that are happening are just natural, and the world will start being colder over time, etc...I would rather see the government getting this war overwith than worrying about Global Warming...

Answer 4

Well let me say to all the people who talk about oh it was so cold here the last winter there is no global warming let me direct you to this website to dispel that foolishness.

Now is global warming real. Probably I trust the vast majority of scientests on this one and not unstudied people on yahoo answers who think because winter was cold there is no global warming. I think there is responsible things everyone can do that will not effect there lives so terribly. I would like to err on the side of caution in this one and try to stop a possible catstrophe.

However if the vast majority of scientists tell me global warming is b.s. than I will believe that. I'll listen to the experts.

a million. could you abolish the sphere noted as Economics? financial technology says your international will fail. Plus an basic furnish and insist curve could confuse quite everyone. 2."each American could be dealt with an identical under the government regardless of gay, straight away, Black, White, woman or guy"-So your against affirmative action??

Answer 6

Cons **seem** to be less concerned about the environment-- not w/out care of it. Libs are more worried about it and of course you have to count the wacho sierra and green peace tree huggers in all that. They're the extreme.

Its not terribly different than gun control/laws. Righties are rabid about guns. Most reasonable libs are ok with gun ownership but its not a free-for-all.

Answer 7

it snowed in central florida last week, and in calgary canada, its the coldest its been in over 100 yrs. Global Warming is a crock

Answer 8

I'm in favor of protecting the environment. I just want decisions to be made on the basis of scientific reality, not loud irrational screams.

Answer 9

Ann Coulter once said regarding the environment " God said take earth, rape it, it's yours." I hope the majority of conservatives don't feel this way. I think some don't care and most aren't ready to sacrifice luxuries to save the environment.

Answer 10

We are just not insane about it. For example someone on the "holiday" thread said he puts up a plastic Christmas tree so he won't damage the environment. What they FAIL to see is the forrests HAVE to be thinned out due to fire danger. Libs in my state think it's more important for fish to spawn than it is for farmers to irrigate their crops. Come on people, a little common sense would be appreciated.
