A former leftist and now moderate asked me why conservatives never talk about global warming, climate change, plastic waste, and CO2 emissions. Why only the democrats care about nature etc?
About 18 years ago in high school, I was the 1st youth exposed to Al Gore's global warming documentary "Inconvenient Truth." As a young left leaning, Christian denying atheist in my teenage years, I drank the Kool Aid. I also remember how the U.S. was being blamed for all the plastics being littered in the world and how it was harming the ocean life. I even believed cow farts was causing global warming. I was such an idiot.
What I found out later was lots of global warming was B.S., the pictures they took were inaccurate. Even the pictures of the plastics we were being blamed for, were pictures taken from OTHER countries like China or India of their horrible handling of trash.. but WE were being blamed for it, and democrats were saying if we wanna save the planet, we better vote democrat!
What do you guys think? Can you expand more on these topics more? Can anyone provide more info for me to look into? And why does our side never talk about these issues?
You are right, don't even second guess yourself. I would have just said that climate change is a distraction from the actual toxic waste situations we have - often for green products, like lithium batteries etc. It's a deception to avoid caring about the environment really - CO2 obsession "sucks the oxygen out of the room" for everything else! Everyone on the right also (for real) cares about the environment but not the fraudulent solutions offered, which are just there to covertly control and prevent. It's a tangle that takes years of self learning, so don't expect more than they put into understanding it.
