Why do conservatives oppose the environment?

Answer 1

Protecting the environment means ending chemtraining, and that would upset individuals who are much higher than these petty party lines.

Answer 2

Donors

Answer 3

They don't.

Answer 4

CONS think clean air, clean water, natural beauty, etc. are for sissies. They like to "conserve" racism, homophobia, religious nonsense, hazing/bullying, binge drinking culture, police brutality, warmongering, gross inequality, an aristocracy of obscene inherited wealth and power, etc. - not the environment. By today's standards, Nixon, who created the EPA, would be considered a flaming liberal.

Answer 5

They don't. Trump does.

Answer 6

How does someone "oppose the environment"? That doesn't even make sense. I oppose ignorant questions.

Answer 7

Because I am a real scientist, and I know that bullshit is meant for libtardos who still have their 8th grade chemistry sets they play with in mommy's basement, whilest fancying themselves jigboo physicists.

Answer 8

there are sections of China the size of Connecticut where the ecosystem has been poisoned and will remain "dead" for centuries.... but China paid billions to the nations and politicians like Bill Clinton who pushed the Kyoto Protocols to give them a pass...

Brazil razes a section of Rain Forest the size of Rhode Island every year to plant sugar cane to produce ethanol....but since this counts as "green energy" production, they get a pass...

the Paris Accords allow 3rd world countries to displace millions of natives from their ancestral lands, coincidentally (wink wink) while also raising labor and regulatory costs on first world industries... how will these industries escape these costs? surprise surprise! the 3rd world nations don't have those same regulations AND they suddenly have all this cheap labor available!


....are you getting to "hoax" part yet?

Answer 9

Conservative leaders are beholden to wealthy industrialists who would very much like to be able to pollute the environment with complete impunity, and so anything resembling an environmental concerns signals a threat to those people and the elected conservatives they control.

Answer 10

It's nothing personal. Protecting the environment means forgoing some opportunities to make a profit and failure to take advantage of every opportunity to make as much money as possible is what gets them hopping mad.
