I had a question asked of why conservatives don’t embrace climate change:

Quote: I don’t understand about climate change deniers is why they want to deny something that can’t harm them in any way if they choose to embrace it.

I gave the following response.

There are five reasons.

1. Those pushing for climate change are profiting from it.

2. There is not a consensus of scientists about climate change. Some lose their jobs if they disagree.

3. Loss of rights. Forcing the consumer to buy items to follow the dictates of climate change even though not every agrees to the cause. For example.

 

1. Mercury light bulbs. Using mercury bulbs seems worse than the original bulb. Clean up process:

1. States are restricted to using an inferior dish soap

1. Fined for too long showers in CA.

1. Churches can’t use oven cleaners on their ovens anymore. Can’t find an article but we can’t use our ovens to cook but only to warm something up.

 

4. Climate Gate:

Other articles I’ve seen say there is no basis behind the climate gate.

 

5. For some climate change had become a religion and it you don’t agree with my religion you’ll be prosecuted or criminalized.

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/07/31/new-study-majority-of-climate-scientists-dont-agree-with-consensus/

 

6. People think that though many people don’t believe that climate change is on the heads of humanity, that we don’t take our part to take care of the planet. Even those who don’t feel that climate change is on all human heads are still involved with recycling, avoiding putting pollutants into the water system, solar panels and other tasks. Some do service project to help or donate to causes to help the world.

 

I acknowledge that there is corruption on both sides when it comes to the climate change agenda:

I have a huge excel sheet of various articles on different subjects but apparently, I’ve lost a number of those links. With googles new search feature I am not able to find them again. So some of these are from doing a new search.

I hope this can give some explanation behind you question what harm can it do.

 

Again, sorry for taking so long on my response. You asked in good faith and I wanted to respond in good faith.

 

When readers expressed concern about some of the sites I reference I responded:

I had other sources but Google is not displaying some the article I’ve seen in the past. I’m concerned there is a filter involved. I wish I would not have lost the original articles like a one how Climate change is a way to fleece wealthy nations. No luck at all. Shoot.
When it comes to sources, I’m sure the liberal ones won’t share opposing opinions.
