Conservationists. Conserv…ative. You’d think they’d be all over trying to protect the climate - even if only for the ability to shoot game, hunt, fish, etc.

Because climate change will affect the habitat for all those critters that they want to do that with. Fish will become more scarce or change where they are located. Fowl and fauna will go to where the food is, if there is any. Desertification will affect what creatures are found where. Some places will be inundated and natural habitats will be irrevocably be changed.

That’s what conservationists want to forestall - they want to protect the climate.

Conservatives, however, think climate change and global warming is a conspiracy. They simply don’t get it. When climate science is speaking in unison, and the only ones who are against them are paid shills for right wing outfits like Heartland, or you see funds traced back to Koch or oil/energy outfits, the only conspiracy is that these right wing outfits are out to lie to the public about the real dangers posed by continued reliance on those energy sources.
